Gutter Kitties The Paw Pad

The Paw Pad is a communal shelter in Stanmore Bay that houses undomesticated street and community rescue cats.

Auckland

Each rescue cat within our enclosure costs us around $15 per week. We also have many other rescues within our numerous foster homes, as well as many managed colonies. We sit at around 100 rescues at a time within our foster homes and shelter, and have over 60 cats within our colonies. The costs to run Gutter Kitties are huge, and we appreciate any donations from our supporters.

More about us

Gutter Kitties Cat Rescue is a Charitable Trust that operates within the North Shore and Hibiscus Coast areas of Auckland. We focus our efforts on the rescue and TNR of our colony and community cats. We have a communal shelter in Stanmore Bay (The Paw Pad) that houses our undomesticated rescues, where they are rehabilitated, and prepared for their next move into a foster home, then a forever home.

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.
