Auckland City Kitties

I'm just a single gal trying to make a dent in the stray cat population of Auckland by rescuing and rehoming as many kittens as I can.

Ponsonby, Auckland

I'm Sarah - and I started rescuing cats and kittens around 15 years ago first of all volunteering with a bigger organization, and then going out on my own. I rescue and rehome around 100 kittens a year - which isn't much compared to some of the bigger groups, but not too bad when you think I'm doing this on my own, a one-woman-band. I work full time and juggle the rescue work before/ after work and on the weekends. I receive NO funding, just donations here and there from amazing people and a little to cover some costs when I adopt out kittens. NO kitten leaves my care undesexed - I am here to try and make a difference, no matter how small that may be.

Use of funds

All donations I receive goes directly back into the essential care of the kittens I rescue. This helps cover costs such as: desexing, microchipping, vaccinations, worm + flea treatments, cat litter, cat food and the never ending vet bills!

No end to "Kitten Season"... 20 May 2026

At a time when kitten season should be slowing down… it’s not. If anything, it feels like it’s getting harder, not easier. Instead of the numbers easing off, they’re still coming - more calls, more messages, more kittens needing somewhere safe to land.

I am completely at capacity - and beyond. Every space in my home is full, every spare moment is spoken for, and every day is a balancing act of feeding, cleaning, medicating, and simply trying to keep everyone well.

As much as I wish I could help every cat and kitten that needs it, I simply can’t. That’s honestly one of the hardest parts - knowing there are more out there, knowing they need help, and knowing I don’t have the space or resources to say yes.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
