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 MARCH 2026 28 March 2026

Opotiki kitten season has been relatively kind to us with less numbers in than last year. Noticeably alot have come from down the Coast this season, an area we need to focus some help. We like to think our desexing programme is working, we know we can't stop! Problems with over population of kittens and cats are never ending, it just needs people to seek help. Help us by adopting an OSCA! or financially, we in turn can help others. OSCA really appreciates your continued support if you are already part of our journey. Your contribution has a huge impact on our daily work, so thank you very much. All the best from us @ OSCA Inc.

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.
