Please desex your cat and encourage everyone you know to have theirs desexed. Help is available where cost is an issue.
Established in 1971 and incorporated in 1973, the League is a registered charity dedicated to relieving pain and suffering in cats and kittens in Canterbury, New Zealand. We rescue, rehabilitate and rehome and help where we can.
If you are interested in adopting a cat or kitten, please ring our cattery on 03-3840006 or email [email protected]. The cattery is situated at 14 Charlesworth Street, Woolston, Christchurch and is open from 11am to 3pm on Saturday and from 11am to 2.30pm on Sunday and Tuesday to Friday. It is closed on Mondays.
Our office is situated at 14 Charlesworth Street, Woolston, is open from 10am to 4pm weekdays and can be contacted on 03-3766094 or by email [email protected]. Along with general advice our office provides the following services:
- We take in stray, abandoned and surrendered cats and kittens by way of a wait list although we assist in emergency situations as soon as possible.
- If your cat is unwell or injured we can assist with vet fees where cost is an issue, including allowing you to pay off treatment in some circumstances.
- We run a desexing programme called the Feline Fix where we try to get as many cats desexed as we can. Discounted and subsidised prices are available to community service card holders and people with a low income at 18 vets around Canterbury.
- We provide flea treatment and worm pills at $4 per treatment.
- We run a lost and found service. We encourage any pet owners who have lost their cat to list them on the facebook page Lost Cats Christchurch, Trade Me and www.petsonthenet.co.nz.
- We hire out trapping and holding cages. The fees are $5 for trapping cages and $10 for holding cages plus a refundable bond of $20.
We also have a second hand shop at 475 Worcester Street, Linwood where donated goods are sold. The shop is open from 10am to 4pm weekdays and can be contacted on 03-3899068 during those hours.
