Opotiki Society for the Care of Animals Incorporated

OSCA INC. ~ caring for our community felines, focus on desexing. Help, recommend, assist ~ anything that we can provide we will.

Bay of Plenty

Opotiki Society for the Care of Animals Inc - known as OSCA Inc. Our focus is for the Opotiki community and for cats and kittens. We are open seven days a week, 365 days of the year and volunteer based.

Our town is a mix of urban and rural with a population of approximately 5,000 and extending into the rural community. We are here as we believe our town deserves a day to day face, a centre to come to, seek advice, provide help where we can.

Our main focus is to desex, to prevent unwanted kittens, all incomers are homed desexed, had one vaccination, micro-chipped and registered on the NZ Companion Animal Register, wormed and flea'd along with their vet booklet.

Our centre is open plan, where there is alot of human/feline interaction, the radio is on, lawn mower going and most day to day sounds, this seems to set our adoptees in good stead for settling into a new home well. We can provide the personal touch.

We wish to raise money for our centre to remain open 365 days, be a voice for animals in Opotiki, be able to provide vet treatment as necessary, continue our desexing programme and be that CENTRE for our felines.

More about us

OSCA Inc, was formed in Opotiki, Bay of Plenty after the SPCA branch was closed back in December 2018. We felt there was a definite need for a day to day face where people can come seeking advice and help. Our focus is cats and kittens.

OSCA UPDATE FOR DECEMBER 2025 10 December 2025

Those super cute little kittens are coming in the door now. Our first arrivals came on 26.10.25 weighing in at .185 grams to .190 grams. We are thrilled to report those three are now well over .800 grams and are up for finding a new home. Its a team effort and without everyone doing their bit, OSCA would not happen. If you want to be part of our journey helping Opotiki animals through our centre work or desexing, please make contact. Super big thank you to everyone, we are celebrating our 7th birthday on 15.12.25. Stay tuned to our Facebook page and here for updates, kittens in, kittens out and if you are still looking for your furever fur kid, come for a visit.

Saw your Facebook post needing kitten food, unfortunately I'm not over Opotiki way very often to be able to drop in a food donation so hope this is able to help instead.
