Latest Update: Posts Are UP!
Building a Safe Haven
in the Volcano Jungle
Another short, sweet, and oh so victorious cat sanctuary build update! We’ve got POSTS! That’s right, all the main posts for the shelter we are building are now UP! Right now there are still some temporary supports holding them in place, so they’re not completely solid as of yet, but soon the structure will be getting framed in, more solid, and then the roof will begin to be assembled! If you know the Volcano area of the Big Island of Hawai’i, you’ll understand how crucial and central having a very solid roof and shelter from the rain is. When designing our sanctuary (which will expand in phases), we’ve got our own unique considerations that are different, even from sanctuaries and rescues on other islands, or different parts of our SAME island! The Big Island of Hawai’i has 4 out of the 5 major climate zones of the world, and 8 out of the 13 subzones of the world. That means that we are an island of diverse climates, and take the phrase “microclimate” to a whole new level. So with that in mind, we’ll be including some unique considerations as we continue our build, and as we adjust and expand once our new permanent site is up and running. Stay tuned! More build updates coming soon! -the Volcano Cat Sanctuary Crew
Our Mission
We are currently fostering kittens ages 4 weeks to 12 weeks, as well as some adult cats on a case to case basis. We are actively building a cat sanctuary in Volcano, HI. We have cleared one acre of land and installed cat proof fencing, and continue to work towards building structures, and obtaining water, sewer and electricity. Our efforts are focused on building a beautiful cat sanctuary where stray and homeless cats can live their lives in peace and safety.
We also are continuing to work to decrease the feral and free roaming cat population on Hawaii Island to help protect native bird species and Hawaii's delicate ecosystem.
