Land Progress

Building The Dream

From two stray kittens on a highway to a 3-acre permanent sanctuary. We are building a model of compassion and ecological stewardship in Hawaii.

Milestones

Phase 1: Foundations

Secured 3 acres of permanent land in Volcano
Cleared and leveled the first acre
Laid gravel foundation across the site
Installed cat-proof, dog-proof, and pig-proof fencing
Completed and installed our beautiful entry gate
The Current Mission

Currently Fundraising

We urgently need $10,000 to build weather-proof structures. This is the most crucial step to move our residents from temporary foster homes to the permanent sanctuary.

Cat Shelters

Building weather-proof, enriched enclosures for residents.

Infrastructure

Installing electricity, water lines, and facilities.

Guest Area

Storage and a greeting area to eventually open to the public.
