Our TNR program is dedicated to cat and kitten rescue, working tirelessly to relieve the suffering of homeless, abandoned, or mistreated felines through TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) to prevent unwanted births in feral colonies and control the unowned cat population. Our goal is to better the lives and reduce the number of community cats across Oahu.
To accomplish this goal, we promote, educate, and advocate the non-lethal and effective method of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR).
We believe all living creatures have a fundamental right to respect and are deserving of compassion.
Our TNR program runs on 100% donations. When we don't have funding available, we are only able to assist with requests from those who are able to pay the costs.
Large Colonies: For colonies with 10+ cats that need TNR, we generally need to fundraise in advance to ensure we have enough funding to cover the costs.
Kittens: We are sadly not always able to intake kittens from cat colonies. Please remember that feral kittens 8-10+ weeks in age may be past the window of socialization and may need to be TNR'd with the adult cats. The best age to bring kittens to rescue or shelter is between 5-8 weeks old.
Relocation: We don't recommend nor support the relocation of cats. Our primary focus is trap, neuter, RETURN. It's in the best interest of the cats for them to remain where they are, as cats are bonded to their outdoor home and to one another. Relocation should be an absolute last resort, and if necessary, must be done correctly or it will be detrimental to the cats.
DON'T: Trap without a plan, trap and bring a feral cat to any shelter, trap and relocate a cat, take kittens under 5 weeks old away from the mama cat.
