HOW YOU CAN HELP
We need your help to keep this wonderful organisation to carry on its fantastic work within our community.
We support people who know the value and importance of having a family pet, but who struggle to pay the ‘over and above’ expenses.
We support people who feed and de-sex abandoned cats and kittens.
We have established and operate animal sanctuaries (principally for cats) in lovely rural settings.
We promote education and awareness on appropriate care and responsible pet ownership.
We strive to find loving homes for our rescued cats and kittens.
A beautiful friendship could be just around the corner!
About us
Taranaki Animal Protection Trust (TAPT) was formed nearly 10 years ago in response to a need for grass-roots support to people caring for, or overseeing the welfare of animals of all descriptions in our community.
The needs of the Taranaki community have changed over those years. We find not only are the services broadening, but the demand for those services is sadly growing more and more each year.
TAPT is a registered charitable trust and is 100% run by volunteers.
All money raised goes directly to the health and welfare of the animals in our care.
Found Pets
Any cats or kittens that Taranaki Animal Protection Trust rescue, that are not specifically surrendered to us, have to be advertised for a period of 7 days before they can be considered for adoption.
We regularly update our Facebook page with details on where the animal was found, along with a picture.
