Companion Animals New Zealand is a leading national animal welfare charity committed to ensuring a good life for our pets in New Zealand.
Companion Animals New Zealand is passionate about transforming New Zealand into a global leader in companion animal welfare. We envision a world where every pet thrives and experiences the Good Life they deserve.
We operate the NZ Companion Animal Register (NZCAR), which helps reunite lost pets with their guardians, and we fund research, education, animal welfare campaigns as well as advocacy work to advance companion animal welfare. This includes initiatives like our free animal behaviour webinar series, subsidised microchipping events, ‘state of the nation’ animal surveys and human behaviour change for enhancing animal welfare programmes.
We deeply appreciate your valuable support. If you are able, please consider making a donation to help us continue our mission of ensuring the wellbeing of NZ's pets. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant difference.
Companion Animals New Zealand is a Charitable Trust, CC27849, and a registered Charity under the Charities Act 2005.
