WISCA - what’s on

Spring is the perfect time to give our pets the best start to the warmer months, and WISCA is bringing the community together to do just that.

Join us at our Spring Community Day for a relaxed, family-friendly event celebrating responsible pet ownership and animal welfare on Waiheke. Whether you're a long-time pet owner or have recently welcomed a new furry family member, there'll be something for everyone.

Come along to:

  • 🐾 Have a Chat with our Animal Advocate, Dr Heather Reeder – ask those questions you've always meant to ask.

  • 🐾 Learn about our Spring Desexing Campaign and how it helps prevent unwanted litters.

  • 🐾 Pick up a beautiful 2027 WISCA Calendar or our Christmas cards.

  • 🐾 Enjoy a classic sausage sizzle while catching up with fellow animal lovers.

  • 🐾 Meet the WISCA team and learn more about microchipping, fostering, volunteering, wildlife assistance, and how your support helps animals across Waiheke.

At WISCA, we believe that healthy pets make happier families, and that supporting people is one of the best ways to support animals.

Bring your family, invite a friend, and join us for a fun day celebrating the animals that make our island such a special place. Every purchase and every conversation helps strengthen animal welfare in our community.

Spring is in the air… and so is romance! 🌸🐾

Before your furry friend starts looking for love, make desexing a priority. Desexing your cat or dog helps prevent unwanted litters and gives every animal the best chance of a happy, healthy and well-cared-for life. Come and talk to us for advice and discuss how we can help.
