We help animals… and you can too

Friends of Animal Charities is a registered charity founded originally by a group of friends – all with a passion for helping animals – to assist local animal welfare organizations on the Kapiti Coast and beyond.

Opening shop in Paraparaumu Beach in April 2014, FOAC has raised over $500,000 (as at April 2024) for local organisations like HUHA, Horowhenua SPCA, Feline Fix and other rescue groups in both the North & South Islands – Bay of Islands Animal Rescue, Saving Hope Foundation, Christchurch Bull Breed Rescue and Pet Refuge to name a few.

You can do your part to help the animals too – donations and volunteers are always welcome.

“On behalf of KittyCat Fixers, I would like to thank FOAC from the bottom of my heart for their generous donations to the cause.

These wonderful ladies have come up with the great idea to raise funds for animal charities. To have people willing to do this on behalf of various charities is a wonderful relief! Well done and keep up the great work.”

KittyCat Fixers

“Thank you for your continuing support of the Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust.

Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust is entirely unfunded and costs over $100,000 a year to run with the majority of this cost going on staff wages and medications and feed. I would like to extend an invitation to FOAC to visit our facility so I can show you what we do and how much we appreciate your support.”

It is always hugely appreciated by us, and great that it was even delivered to our door. You and your Friends of Animal Charities are doing a wonderful job.”

Thanks to you and your customers, we’ve been able to ‘fix’ over 700 cats since that very first foundation grant.”
