Volcano Cat Sanctuary

Volcano Cat Sanctuary Volcano Cat Sanctuary is a 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue committed to the well-being of all animals on Hawai'i Island.

We are currently fostering kittens ages 4 weeks to 12 weeks, and building a cat sanctuary to permanently house Hawai'i Island's cats.

Please see some of our current rescued munchkins who are either being fostered or with us at our teeny tiny sanctuary site.

Every single one is so very precious. So in need for love and care.

We truly wished we could safe them all. All the desperate calls for help we receive every day.

Please understand that we have to make sure that the sweeties we take into our care need to be fed, loved up and cared for.

The reality is …. It takes funds. Shelter. Medication. Food. Space. And a care taker every single day to show up to care for them.

Clean their kennels. Observe them. Bring them to a vet if needed. Socialize them.

Get them spayed and neutered.

We answer every single desperate email, call, and message. But β€” we cannot help them all. 😩

at the Puna Kai Shopping Center in Pahoa

πŸŽƒWhat: Meet our kittens, aka house panthers, fur babies, tiny tigresses, healers who are ready for pre-adoption and adoption!!

When you pre-adopt a kitten (or 2 or 3), we will care for that kitten and hold it for you until it is ready to be spayed or neutered, and then send it on its way to you, it’s new forever home!

All of our kittens are always treated for fleas, worms, and parasites, and we require them to be spayed or neutered, and microchipped before they go home with you (unless you foster-adopt with us).

We can’t wait for you to meet our adoptable kitten babies!

With recent changes to nutrition assistance programs, we know that many community members are hurting.

Our Community Pet Pantry serves as a vital safety net for those experiencing financial hardship or food insecurity. By providing free pet food, we can help keep pets in homes β€” because no one should have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their pets. As part of our mission to eliminate pet overpopulation, we work with pet owners to ensure that their pets are spayed and neutered β€” thereby supporting capacity for care and promoting responsible pet ownership.

If you or someone you know needs assistance, our Community Pet Pantry is available as follows:
πŸ“The Keaau Shelter, 16-873 Keaau-Pahoa Rd., Keaau. Fridays from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
πŸ“The Animal Community Center in Kona, 78-6767 Mamalahoa Hwy, Holualoa. Fridays through Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

If you are in a position to support our Community Pet Pantry, we accept donations of unopened, unexpired pet food. Our greatest need is adult dog dry food and adult cat dry food.

Donations can be dropped off at either of our shelter locations during open hours β€” Fridays through Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Prefer to shop online? When you shop online, your donation will be delivered to us directly. We have added reasonably-priced options to the list and it is sorted based on need/demand.

πŸ“¦To shop online: https://a.co/9Sif1I6

Together, we can help keep pets right where they belong β€” in caring homes with the people who love them.

In many cultures and traditions, these are the days to remember and honor our beloveds who have passed on. Be it our ancestors, relatives, or anyone close to our 'ohana - for many of us, it includes our furry friends as well. As the veils to the other side are thin right now, let us not forget to honor our beloved animal companions and guardians as well. πŸ•―οΈπŸΎπŸ™

In the waning light of this season, let us take a moment to honor our animal family who have passed on.

Whether they were with us for many years, or their time with us was short, all of the animal family who come into our lives are significant.

In the comments below, you are invited to share the name of beloved fur babies who you want to celebrate and remember.

Sending tenderness…

Meet Cheeto! 🧑🧑
Have you ever encountered a kitty who instantly curls up on your lap, tummy, neck … like a stuffed animal? Who is just satisfied to be around you, and stays put wherever you place them? So very soft, beautiful and purry?

We do not know this darling’s story, all we can tell you is that this dreamy Romeo was most likely dumped out of a car, as one of our team members saw him appear at a notorious dumping site, as a car was leaving, and he was going to enter the highway to possibly go after the car.

Immediately he approached our team member after making contact - and curled around their legs, obviously confused and lost, talking up a storm. πŸ₯Ή

He is safe with us. He got neutered today, and deserves the most loving home, ever. β€οΈβ€πŸ©ΉπŸ’˜

Please let us know if you are called to shower this lover boy with endless cuddles and kisses! 😘

πŸŽƒ October was a very busy month for us, and we had an awesome number of adoptions! 🐾

Celebrating 25 intakes, 18 adoptions (!!!), and numerous other kitties spayed and neutered!
Every kitty rescued, spayed, neutered, and adopted, means many many more kittens that never go hungry. It means a reduction of the feral cat population.

And it means another little being has a safe & happy home.

If you want to support the work we are doing here on the Big Island of Hawai’i, help us in our second stage of building on our permanent sanctuary site!

We’ve got the land clearing & major fencing done, and now we are prepping to construct cat shelters, as well as some essential buildings for supplies and functionality, such as storing kitty food, medical supplies, etc.

Please go to

www.gofundme.com/f/build-a-safe-haven-for-hawaiis-vulnerable-cats

and donate to our kitty rescue work!

Our permanent sanctuary site will eventually be open to the public, and will be housing not only rescue kittens, but primarily adult cats who have nowhere else to go.

Please consider helping us!
We are a small part of the solution, but an essential one.

Thank you so much for your support, Big Island β€˜Ohana & Beyond
