The Lost Pet Register has made an appeal on Facebook for people who can accommodate or transport pets.
Some dog kennels and catteries are taking in pets evacuated because of the Christchurch Port Hills fire and not charging, the SPCA says.
SPCA Canterbury chief executive Barry Helem urged people who had been evacuated to call his organisation if they needed help finding temporary accommodation for pets or livestock.
"We've got good relationships with other cat and dog rescue groups.
"We've managed to house some cats and a couple of dogs. We've got others on standby.
"It's early in the day and our phones are busy. If people are having trouble getting through, bear with us."
The SPCA did not charge and some commercial catteries and kennels were also offering not to charge for fire-evacuated pets.
People had also phoned in offering spare paddocks for evacuated livestock.
"It's been fantastic to see such good support come from the community."
