Snorty & Shorty are committed to saving the lives of thousands of abandoned and abused animals around New Zealand. Out of all the   welfare organisations desperately needing assistance and donations,  we found one who really is struggling and is in urgent need of help. A foundation created from the pure love and dedication. That's when we found Nine Lives Cat Rescue.

There are an estimated 2.4 million stray cats in New Zealand and at least 20,000 colonies in Auckland alone.

According to the 2016 report issued by New Zealand Companion Animal Council approximately 64 percent of New Zealand households are home to at least one pet with an estimated 4.6 million pets outnumbering their owners. Cats are still the most popular companion animal in New Zealand with 44 percent of households sharing their home with at least one cat compared to dogs who are at 28 percent.

These are alarming numbers and a serious issue in New Zealand. Snorty & Shorty are working alongside the 9 Lives Cat Rescue foundation who have dedicated their lives to the cause of rehoming and providing food, shelter and medical care to as many abandoned and abused cats as possible. 

Unfortunately this is a losing battle as the foundation is struggling with finding volunteers, funds and supplies with more and more cats being found and in need by the day. This is an amazing cause and really  NEEDS YOUR HELP! 

 

    

HOW CAN YOU HELP?..

Snorty & Shorty have provided a special animal themed collection where a proportion of profits made will be donated to the 9 Lives Cat Rescue  to help look after and provide for these abused animals. We will also be hosting live updates and a special section on our site of animals looking for their forever home. This is a wonderful opportunity if you are looking to adopt or wanting to donate towards the cause.
