West Plains Cat Rescue
Fundraising to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome cats in Invercargill.
Invercargill, Southland
West Plains Rescue is a registered charity located in Invercargill.
We rescue, rehabilitate and rehome cats, ensuring the cycle of unwanted kittens does not continue by desexing every cat we rescue.
To reduce the spread of disease and the number of lost cats, all of our rescues are vaccinated and microchipped, including being registered on the nationwide NZ Companion Animal Register.
In 2022, we converted a garage into a rescue "cattery" so we could help more cats. This has been a great success so far, having had nearly 80 cats pass through its doors in half a year.
We have big plans for the future, including getting our local Council to implement desexing laws and improving the culture and attitude towards cats.
