whAt's new (pussycat!)

Because cats breed an alarming rate, a single pregnant cat and her offspring (and their offspring - and their offspring....) will grow into 50 cats in just two years. That's from ONE SINGLE CAT! By the time five years passes, that same cat and her offspring will have exponentially grown to a staggering 20,000 cats. The 121 cats we  just helped get fixed would have become over a million in just five short years!

Most of these kittens will only live long enough to breed for a cycle or two, then likely die of starvation or disease because there simply aren’t enough resources for everyone.  Approximately 75% of kittens die or disappear by six months of age. Starvation, dehydration, disease, and trauma are the most common causes of kitten death.

Fortunately, in November, 2022, the Maui Humane Society, with a generous grant from Greater Good, invited us to participate in an island-wide, short-term spay and neuter clinic. We were thrilled at the opportunity to participate and in just  4 short days, our small group of tireless and committed volunteers were able to humanely catch and bring in 121 cats to be fixed.

121 CATS!  And if we multiply that over 5 years of mating, SAVE MAUI CATS HAS HELPED KEEP 1,220,000 FUTURE FERAL KITTENS FROM BEING BORN IN MAUI - just from our work in this one week alone.

It's difficult to imagine what a cruel and desperate fate these doomed kittens would face without people stepping up to help. We at Save Maui Cats are honored  and dedicated to be part of a humane solution.
