OPERATION ALOHA CAT

10-29-21  GREAT NEWS!  Save Maui Cats helped send 10 desperate kittens to forever homes on the mainland. This is our program’s maiden voyage and we’re hoping to send many more in the future. 


Resources for cats on Maui are limited and most struggle to survive but thanks to Captain Adam Townley-Wren, Good Cat Network president Amber Star Naramore, Aloha Air Cargo, and a group of dedicated volunteers, these lucky kittens are on their way to a better life. Thank you, this couldn’t have happened without you.


GET INVOLVED!  Donations and fosters are needed more than ever so that we may keep up with this incredible program and continue  to help save the cats and kittens of Maui. 

 Thank you!

About Us

Dreaming of a brighter future...

Save Maui Cats is a volunteer based, non-profit rescue, dedicated to the island's homeless, hungry and forgotten cats.


It's hard to imagine that a paradise as beautiful as Maui has thousands of starving and neglected cats and kittens struggling to survive in its jungles and beaches, on its streets and in its neighborhoods. Sadly, most kittens don't survive their first year.  But Save Maui Cats is here to help!


Follow Michael Willinsky as he endeavors to feed 300 cats in this  SHORT VIDEO! 


We provide food and water to hundreds of grateful cats every day while helping to trap, transport, spay, neuter and vaccinate hundreds more. We are actively decreasing the number of homeless cats on Maui, by:


  • Setting up and managing healthy Community Colonies by promoting TNRM (Trap, Neuter, Return, Manage) 
  •  Adopting out friendly, fixed cats 
  • Educating local residents and engaging in community participation


Just this year alone, we've trapped and helped fix over 200 of the island's homeless cats. These are the lucky ones who, while still living on the streets, have a committed volunteer who brings them food and fresh water every day. These cats have a chance at life without burdening the community with more unwanted kittens. To donate cat food, flea medicine and other contributions, please visit More Ways To Give.


SPAYING AND NEUTERING IS THE ANSWER

There are tens of thousands of cats and kittens on this island that still need to be fixed - and who are counting on us for their survival. Although we are a small group of volunteers, we are dedicated and strong. And we are making a big difference.


We're proud of our accomplishments but we need your help! 


Supporting Save Maui Cats' efforts will help put an end to Maui's cat overpopulation, ensuring a brighter future for everyone.

What we do...

We help the starving and neglected cats of Maui by getting them fixed and keeping them fed.


To donate cat food, flea medicine and other contributions, please visit  More Ways To Give.


TNRM, otherwise known as  'Trap-Neuter-Return-Manage' is the only humane, effective approach for homeless cats. A group of healthy, fixed cats living harmoniously together is known as a "colony." Colony cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and eartipped (the universal symbol of a fixed and vaccinated cat), and then returned to their outdoor home where a caretaker provides regular food, water and shelter. Socialized cats and kittens are adopted into homes. 


As a result, the colony’s population stabilizes—no more unwanted kittens! Trap-Neuter-Return-Manage improves their lives and their relationship with the community: behaviors and stresses associated with mating stop.

CARING FOR COMMUNITY CATS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

What a great feeling it is to feed a hungry cat. Their sincere appreciation and gratitude can help us to feel a little bit better about our place in the world.  But what if we take that one step further?  If we were to get those same cats spayed and neutered, it would significantly reduce cat overpopulation in our neighborhoods. The few, happy, well fed fixed cats would be able to live out their lives peacefully without burdening the community with litters of unwanted kittens. 



BECOME A COMMUNITY CAT CHAMPION

We're here to help. Contact us if you'd like assistance with humane  trapping and no-cost spay and neuter services. We can also help you set  up a shelter and feeding station for the grateful cats in your  neighborhood!
