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.
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 DECEMBER 2024 22 December 2024
Our financial year is ending but kitten season is beginning in earnst! 44 incomers to OSCA in December with 8 finding new homes, the balance are in house waiting to grow big enough to desex. Looks like we will be over the 170 mark for cats desexed this year and with our dog desexing project #5 going, we will help 167 dogs be desexed in our community from the five projects. Adoptions so far with a few days to go to our year end have 115 finding a new home. Our small team of fundraisers have done a massive job this year, we are very grateful to them, selling bric n brac to gorgeous baking and preserves. Your support is greatly appreciated too enabling us to 'not worry too much' on finance and concentrate on desexing and care for the animals within our centre and community. A super big thank you to you all for your support in 2024, truly appreciated.
Awesome, thank you so much. Really appreciate your kind donation to OSCA Inc. Best wishes from all of us at OSCA
