Building a Safe Haven
in the Volcano Jungle

We’ve got concrete framing! Under the big roof that will cover a portion of our first kitty enclosure at our new, permanent cat sanctuary site, we are planning to have part of the ground area be covered by concrete floor. We’ve got some framing completed, as we wait for the weather to cooperate with some of the other major steps in the build that will not tolerate any rain. It has been a seriously rainy spring here in Hawai’i, and the Big Island is no exception. So for now, our builder is sneaking in progress in between cloud bursts!

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.
