The NZ Cat Foundation The NZ Cat Foundation is a registered cat rescue and sanctuary dedicated to helping the helpless - cats who have been abandoned, abused, injured, or forgotten.

Helping the helpless - rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming New Zealand’s most vulnerable cats.

🐾 Rescue | 🏥 Rehabilitate | 🏡 Rehome
📍 Huapai, New Zealand
❤️ Donations, adoptions, and fosters always needed Based in Huapai, New Zealand, we provide rescue, medical care, rehabilitation, and rehoming for cats in urgent need. Many of the cats who come into our care are sick, injured, traumatised, or have nowhere else to go. With an on-site hospital and a team of passionate volunteers, we give each cat the time, treatment, and compassion they deserve. Our mission goes beyond rescue. We work to reduce suffering through desexing, responsible rehoming, education, and community support, always prioritising the welfare and dignity of the cats in our care. Every life we save is made possible by the kindness of our supporters, fosters, adopters, and donors. Together, we help the helpless - and give cats a future filled with safety and love.

Selene and her 5 babies have settled in so well into their foster home and we couldn’t be happier 🩷

The kittens are now walking around and exploring their space with all their amazing toys

And Selene is getting the one on one attention she deserves from humans 💖

We are now taking expressions of interest for Selene and her babies so that when they are ready to part ways they have forever homes waiting for them xx

Please note both gingers are pending

Ziggy has spent enough time watching other cats find their people. We’d love nothing more than for it to finally be his turn 🥹

At 9 years young, Ziggy might not have the tiny paws and playful chaos of a kitten, but he has something just as special to offer.

He’s gentle, friendly, chatty, and has so much love left to give. He’s the kind of cat who doesn’t need to be the centre of attention, just the centre of someone’s world.

Ziggy does have some ongoing medial needs, which mean’s he’s looking for a permanent foster home where he can be the only cat, however The NZCF will continue to support his medical and diet care.

We know kittens are hard to resist, but older cats deserve their happy endings too.

If you think you could be the person he’s been waiting for, head over to our adoption page for more info, or please share Ziggy’s story.

He’s a bit shy with all the attention though 🥹

🚨 MISSING CAT – PLEASE HELP US FIND ARCHIE 🚨

💔 Archie is missing from the Stanmore Bay area.

Archie is a Persian male cat who has been desexed. He is new to the area and may be unfamiliar with his surroundings. Archie also has health issues, so it’s especially important that we find him and get him home safely.

📍 Last seen: Stanmore Bay Road, Stanmore Bay, Auckland

🐾 Archie is registered with The New Zealand Cat Foundation.

🙏 If you have seen Archie, please keep an eye out and contact us immediately:

📞 021 173 8337

Please share this post widely, especially with people living around Stanmore Bay. Even a sighting could help us bring Archie home. ❤️🐾

Please do not chase him if spotted — contact us with the location and direction he is heading.

Ziggy, Lucy & Lowell, and Teri are still searching for their forever homes! 🏡

They might have different personalities, quirks and needs, but they all have one thing in common: so much love to give and a wish for a place to call their own. 🥹

Sometimes the perfect match just takes a little longer to find, and we’re hoping their special someone is out there scrolling right now! 🤞🐱

Lucy & Lowell 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛
Former little wildlings turned treat-loving sweethearts! Lowell is a handsome, food-obsessed shadow once he trusts you, while Lucy is a shy, sassy girl who loves a good tail scritch. This inseparable brother-sister duo need a patient home where they can blossom together.

Teri 🖤🤍
A gentle, playful little soul who’s still finding her confidence. She’s a fan of tasty treats, predictable routines and giving the cutest little excited jumps when she wants pats! This sweet girl is looking for a calm, indoor-only home where she can feel safe and loved on her own terms.
