SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Simba

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Hi there my name is Simba, I am a big ole handsome man looking for my forever home.
I am a little shy and will tolerate gentle pants so I would love a quiet, patient home with no children (teenagers may be fine) and no other animals.
I would love a home where I can potter around and toast myself in the sun. I do come with a medical waiver that my new owners would need to be aware of.
If you think you are the home for me please contact the Feline Team at SPCA’s Wellington Centre.

Receive $100 Prezzy card — help us to test some online content

Eleanor from Berhampore

At my work, Write Limited, we’re testing some online content on behalf of a government department. We’re looking for a range of people to help us.

By taking part, you’d help to shine a light into important subjects that affect many New Zealanders. We can’t tell you what it’s about before you take part, as we don’t want to affect the results. But hopefully you’ll find it interesting!

We’re looking for people from any ethnic group, and any age from 18-65. Specifically, we’d love to talk to you if you’re interested in government projects that impact New Zealanders.

We’ll have a $100 Prezzy card for you as a small token of our thanks.

If you’re happy to be involved, email rebecca@write.co.nz to let us know why you’d participating, and your preferred day and time.

When: 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17 May between 9.00am and 4.00pm (or in the evening if that suits you better)

Test length: 1 hour

Where: Online (Zoom) or in-person at our offices on Lambton Quay. If you join us on Zoom, ideally you’re familiar with sharing screens.
