Gutter Kitties is Auckland’s largest no-kill cat rescue, run by volunteers, and relying entirely on donations to make a difference to the lives of Auckland’s street cats.
​ We pride ourselves in running a no-kill shelter, and dedicate our time and efforts to rescuing timid, anxious and/or under socialised cats.
​A no-kill shelter is defined as “a shelter that does not kill healthy or treatable animals”. It does not matter if an animal is old, unsocialised, blind, deaf, traumatised or has a treatable illness. All of these animals are worthy of our compassion, all of them can find homes, and all of them deserve to.”
​Gutter Kitties is an Incorporated Charitable Trust. Founder and Chair Danielle Howard started rescue work in 2006, and Gutter Kitties was finally established as a Trust at the beginning of 2012.
