A lifetime of intelligence and beauty. 💛

When we welcome an animal like this magnificent cockatoo into the Boo Boo Zoo, we are making a promise for its entire life. And for a bird that can live 70 years or more, that is a profound, long-term commitment.

A "forever home" truly means forever.

This promise requires more than a one-time gesture. It requires a steady, predictable source of funding for specialized food, stimulating enrichment, and avian vet care for decades to come. The financial future of our long-lived residents depends on the sustainable support of our community.

This is where you can make the most incredible impact. By becoming a monthly donor, you are investing in their entire future. Your recurring gift is a promise that we can continue to provide this high level of care, year after year, for as long as they need us.

You are not just giving a donation; you are helping us keep a lifelong promise.

This is our `ohana. The heart and soul of the East Maui Animal Refuge. ❤️

These are some of the dedicated people who show up, rain or shine, to care for our hundreds of rescued animals. They are the ones mixing the feed, cleaning the enclosures, administering medicine, and offering the gentle comfort that helps a frightened animal feel safe.

Our small but mighty team is working harder than ever to ensure every animal receives the best possible care. They provide the endless love and labor, but they rely on a wider circle of support to make it all possible. That's where you come in.

Your monthly donation is a powerful way to stand with our team, no matter where you are in the world. You become a vital part of our ohana. You are buying the food they serve, stocking the medical supplies they use, and keeping the lights on. You empower them to continue their incredible, life-saving work.

Support our team. Sustain our mission.

This is the 'why.'

This is the moment when all the hard work, the long hours, the cleaning, the feeding, and the worrying melts away into pure, unconditional love. This is the trust of a rescued animal who knows, perhaps for the first time, that they are completely safe.

This is the heart and soul of the East Maui Animal Refuge.

But these moments of profound connection are only possible because of a strong, stable foundation. The "how" behind this "why" is the day-in, day-out work of providing food, medicine, and shelter—the essentials that are funded by our supporters.

Your monthly gift is the fuel for this love. It's the quiet, steady heartbeat of our sanctuary that allows our caregivers to focus on what matters most: healing the hurt and nurturing the soul. It ensures we can always offer a safe embrace to an animal in need.

When you become a monthly donor, you're not just giving a gift. You are stepping into this hug. You are part of this circle of compassion.

At the Boo Boo Zoo, friendship knows no species. ❤️

This young fawn and lamb, both raised in our care after being orphaned, have found comfort and companionship in each other. Here, differences don't matter. What matters is a full belly, a kind friend, and a safe place to grow.

Sharing a meal is a simple joy, but providing thousands of these meals every month is our biggest and most constant challenge. From hay for our gentle grazers to specialized food for our other residents, the costs are ongoing and significant.

This is where your monthly gift makes all the difference. It transforms a one-time gesture into a reliable food supply. It turns a moment of help into a sustainable promise that the food bowls will never be empty, allowing friendships like this to blossom.

You can put this meal on their table. By becoming a monthly supporter, you ensure that our pantry is always stocked and that every animal, no matter their species, receives the daily nourishment they need to thrive.

Welcome to the Boo Boo Zoo nursery. ❤️

Each of these precious fawns arrived at our sanctuary orphaned or injured, too small and vulnerable to survive on their own. For them, a second chance at life requires intensive, around-the-clock care.

Raising these fragile babies means more than just a safe space. It means specialized formula, frequent feedings through the night, warm blankets, and constant monitoring to ensure they grow strong and healthy. It's a journey that takes dedicated, hands-on work.

This is what "last chance" rescue looks like up close. And it's a costly, long-term commitment for each and every life we save.

Your monthly donation is the lifeblood of this nursery. While a one-time gift can buy a bag of feed, a recurring gift ensures we have the formula for next week, and the week after that. It allows us to budget for their long-term care and to say "yes" when the next fragile baby needs our help.

You can be a part of their journey from the very beginning. Help us raise them strong.

This isn't a staged photo. This is just... the Boo Boo Zoo.

It’s a place where a curious cat, majestic macaws, and gentle goats can share a moment of peace. It's a community built on the belief that every animal, regardless of its species or past, deserves a life filled with safety, respect, and companionship.

Caring for such a diverse family is our greatest joy and our biggest challenge. A goat's needs are different from a cat's, which are different from a parrot's. This means varied diets, specialized veterinary care, and unique housing requirements for hundreds of individuals. The logistics are complex and the costs are constant.

We've shared just a few glimpses into their lives. You've seen their friendships, their healing, and the deep bonds they share. Our commitment to them is for life, but our ability to fulfill that promise depends on you.

Please, become the foundation for our future. Your monthly donation is the most powerful way to ensure that this beautiful, wonderful world can continue. It allows us to budget, to plan, and to promise every animal here that they will always have a home.

Be the reason this harmony exists.

Come rain or shine, our herd is always safe and sound under the roof of the Boo Boo Zoo. 🐐❤️

For these rescued goats, this structure is more than just a playground or a shelter from a passing storm. It’s a symbol of the promise we make to every animal who comes through our gates: a promise of safety, stability, and a place to truly belong. Many of them never had that before.

Providing this unwavering security for our entire animal family—from the smallest kitten to the largest goat—takes a village. The daily costs for food, hay, and essential veterinary care for a herd this size are significant.

This is where the power of monthly giving comes in. Your consistent, reliable support is the very foundation of this sanctuary. It's the roof over their heads and the food in their bellies, day in and day out, no matter the weather. It allows us to plan for the future and say "yes" to the next animal in need.

You can be the steady, reliable shelter in their lives.

Not all medicine comes in a bottle. Sometimes, the most powerful healing comes from a gentle nuzzle, a quiet companion, and the simple knowledge that you are finally safe.

These two souls found each other here at the Boo Boo Zoo. In our care, they've formed an unbreakable bond, providing each other with the comfort and support they both desperately needed. This is the heart of what we do: we don’t just mend bodies, we nurture spirits.

Creating this haven, where animals can heal from past trauma and learn to trust again, requires more than just occasional help. It requires a steady, reliable promise of care. Your monthly donation provides that promise.

For the cost of a few coffees a month, you can be the foundation for friendships like this. You can ensure there’s always a soft bed, a full bowl, and a safe space for these quiet miracles to happen.

Be the constant comfort in their lives. Become a monthly supporter.

Just another moment of pure magic at the Boo Boo Zoo. ✨

This magnificent peacock didn't always feel so proud. Like so many of the hundreds of animals at our refuge, he came to us in need of a safe place to heal and recover. Today, he’s not just surviving; he’s thriving, showing off his spectacular beauty for the chickens, roosters, and other friends who share his home.

This transformation—from vulnerable to vibrant—is what we do every single day. But this constant, compassionate care is only possible because of a steady foundation of support.

While a one-time gift helps us today, becoming a monthly donor ensures our ability to provide food, shelter, and veterinary care for every animal, every day of the year. Your recurring gift is the bedrock of our sanctuary. It’s the promise of a full food bowl, the comfort of a warm shelter, and the hope for a second chance.

Be the reason for moments like this. Become a monthly guardian of the Boo Boo Zoo.
