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.
