It's a brisk autumn morning, all rugged up, you tug at your cosy blanket – but there's a heavy lump at the end of your bed!

The lump lets out a purr and snuggles into your side – all is warm and happy.

You can attain this euphoric feeling by heading to one of two animal adoption days in town this weekend! The SPCA Tauranga Centre's Open Adoption Day tomorrow, April 1, which has a 75 per cent discount on adoption fees.

Meanwhile, Rescue Revive Rehome will have a dog adoption day on Sunday, April, 2 at Snap Fitness Papamoa from 10am-2pm with plenty of pups and teen dogs to fall for.

At the SPCA, centre manager Andrea Crompton says there's lots of wonderful animals looking for a new home 'and it's a good time to have company in the winter months when you're home more often and not out and about so much”.

Like everyone – Andrea has her favourites among the centre's 50-plus furry friends. One is lovely mature lady cat, Tilly. 'She's a real smoochy pussy cat and she loves everybody she meets, she's not discerning, everyone she meets is wonderful, and she comes rushing up to us every morning for cuddles.”

On the canine side, Andrea likes cheerful pup ‘Pumba' – after Disney's ‘The Lion King'. 'He's like a lion because he's that brave and happy.”

The SPCA Tauranga Centre open day is at 43 Alach St, Gate Pa, on April 1, from 9am-5pm. There will be a coffee cart, sausage sizzle, lucky dips and more!
