Snip 'n' Chip launches in Central Hawkes Bay

Running for one week from 26 – 30 August, the Snip ‘n’ Chip campaign will allow Central Hawkes Bay residents with a Community Services Card to desex and microchip their cat or kitten for $30. This is just a fraction of the full price cost.

Every month, thousands of animals are brought into SPCA centres nationwide.

Desexing and responsible pet ownership are the only ways to address the cause of unwanted animals being abused and neglected.

“Desexing is one of the best things we can do for animal welfare in New Zealand,” says SPCA CEO Andrea Midgen.

“Not only will it help your pets have a happier and healthier life, but desexing ensures they don’t unknowingly or unexpectedly reproduce a litter of animals who are at risk of being abused and neglected.”

SPCA encourages all Community Card holders in Central Hawkes Bay with undesexed or unmicrochipped cats or kittens to take up this fantastic offer.

They can purchase their Snip ‘n’ Chip voucher by visiting SPCA’s Waipukurau Centre at 15 Coughlan Road, Waipukurau, from 9am to 1pm daily, with their Community Services card. This limited time offer is only running for one week.

“We are so grateful to Vet Services Hawkes Bay and CHB Vets for being involved in this campaign. Our participating local vets have played a huge part to improve animal welfare in Central Hawkes Bay,” says Ms Midgen.

“The aim for our campaigns is to also reach out to those who may not have considered having their pet desexed, or may not be able to afford it, and provide pet owners who do not currently have a local vet to get to know one.”
