This little guy is named Roger Rabbit. Roger has beautiful yellow/green eyes and little white socks. He also holds the unofficial title for the Worldโ€™s Longest Tail. He was found alone in HPP in the middle of a dirt road near the ocean. He was very underweight and unable to move for several days, but with a little TLC he perked right up. Roger enjoys spending his time indoors chasing his foster brother cat or lounging in the screened-in lanai. He hopes to be someoneโ€™s best buddy.

This is for all of you amazing people who could use some sugar as the sun sets in Hawaii tonight. Letโ€™s share some goodness and light. ๐Ÿ’ซโ˜€๏ธ

These two kittens, one dumped at a local transfer station and rescued by one of our awesome caretakers; and one who was surrendered to us, are now safe and taken care of. In no time, they bonded, and meanwhile have a blast with their toys and each other, mending the loss of their mamas. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿค๐Ÿค๐Ÿคโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

We asked per our โ€œname-a-newbieโ€ initiative to have them named, and be acknowledged and recognized via a minimum donation.

As the sun sets on this Sunday, we are so very happy to report that our recent 2 rescued tiny babies found comfort with each other. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’ž

We are of course always trying our very best to accommodate our rescues, keeping in mind that they have to be quarantined until they are fully assessed and treated.

These two babies are without their mamas - who are their life lines!!! We have to make sure they are not only safe and treated and cared for, but most and foremost find refuge and comfort.

Where to even start with this wonderful update?

Some time ago, a wonderful community member was able to trap two forlorn kittens dumped at a park; but didnโ€™t stop there, as two more very scared babies were hiding.

They gave their all and were able to catch the remaining two tiny little babies, so so so scared.

One of our incredible fosters took them all in and on.

Three of these precious beings eventually found amazing homes - but not Loulu. ๐Ÿ˜ฟ

He was just too skittish for several adopters who were interested, just not ready for being part of what they hoped for. ๐Ÿฅน

A couple of days ago, someone reached out to us for a completely different kitty. We shared some pictures and videos - and then the magic occurred. ๐Ÿ”ฎ As soon as they saw Louluโ€™s video, they knew that he was the one!!! They were experienced with skittish kitties and felt called to give him the home he needed.

Miracles happen every day. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŽ‰

Loulu found his HOME.

Some days can feel a bit challenging when youโ€™re dedicated to rescuing animals, and we know that many of our followers and supporters truly understand this.

However, just when we face those challenges, light shines through! It comes from uplifting comments, heartfelt donations, gifts for our rescued kitties from our Amazon wish list, new foster applications, and adopters who step up to give homes to also some less-desired kitties.

We are incredibly grateful to each and every one of you for your support.

Thank you for being such a crucial part of our journey! โค๏ธ

Happy Aloha Friday! ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒบ
Today, letโ€™s shine the limelight on a very, very sweet boy: George. ๐Ÿ’œ

โ€œBoyโ€ George is one perfect kitten! He absolutely LOVES to play with toys and with his brother (who has been pre-adopted and will leave soon!), not to mention wrestling with human hands! Heโ€™s also super gentle with his play, especially with play-biting, and wonโ€™t complain if you plop him down on his back in your lap for belly rubs!

His demeanor is cool, cuddly, calm, and collected - till the toys come out!
Favorite toy: purple ping pong ball!
Favorite food: he loves it all!
Favorite treat: crunchy treats!
Hidden talent: super tolerant of nail trims, and jumping to grab high-up toys!

๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’œ

George is ready for his furrever home!! ๐Ÿงณ ๐Ÿก

Preview of our newest intake. It is just too overwhelming what is happening at our local transfer stations and who ends up there. ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿ˜ฉ This tiny innocent angel got lucky, as she was swooped up by one of our care takers yesterday. Scared and alone. You are safe now little darling.

We had a very busy weekend! We were able to get 18 community kitties fixed with the incredible help of Petfix Spay and Neuter in their endless efforts to control the pet population on our beloved island.

This angel, who we trapped at a local transfer station is in our care now. It is obvious that she is used to humans, starving for cuddles and comfort.

We are so sorry Lovie that you experienced stress, anxiety and hardship.

You are safe now.

After some decompression and health care, this beautiful sweetheart will be available for adoption soon.

The purrfect title for this beautiful precious picture is โ€œFoster Blissโ€, isnโ€™t it?

๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’

This is one of our beloved fosters. This beautiful kitten was found one someoneโ€™s door step, no feline family in sight. They surrendered him to us, and this beautiful being agreed to foster and socialize this darling baby boy. (See inserted picture from when the finder took him in.)

Fostering heals, not only the abandoned kitties.

This is a courtesy post for two extremely sweet kitties who need to be to rehomed asap. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿฅนโ€ผ๏ธ

โ€œPล is named after the realm of the gods. His eyes look like pounamu jade stone and his coat reflects the night sky. He is the sweetest boy, a cuddly cutie that just wants to stretch right next to you and sleep for hours. He has a lot of energy when he gets the zoomies and is curious about whatโ€™s on the counter tops. He has a cruise personality and truly just wants to be loved. He enjoys feather cat toys and has a healthy appetite for food. We truly want to find a good home for him with good people. He just became a part of our family and we are very sad to have to rehome him after getting notice that we need to move out of our home with just two weeks notice. Pล brings a kind of comfort and warmth to any space he finds himself in and I hope the next โ€˜ohana that takes him in will love him as we do and always will.

โ€˜ลŒhiโ€™a was named after the bark of the lehua blossomed trees of Puna because of the patterns that she carries so beautifully on her coat. She is protective of her boundaries and takes her time letting people into her safe space. Once she does, she is deeply caring and finds comfort in snuggling up close to sleep. โ€˜ลŒhiโ€™a is a survivor, found as a tiny kitten with fire ant bites on her eyes and in need of healing. She was taken in, healed up and then gifted to our family to love. It is with great sadness that we must find a new home for โ€˜ลŒhiโ€˜a as we were given notice that we must move out of our home with only two weeks to do so. We are hoping that she will be loved by the next โ€˜ohana that takes her in. Mahalo for helping us find her a beautiful home to land.โ€

Please share this post, dear friends. It takes a village to help out dear people in need.
