Thousands of cats arrive to Hawaiian Humane Society every month. In an effort to get as many neighborhood cats fixed as possible, the Humane Society is embarking on an aggressive sterilization effort. The Humane Society will offer $10 “Feline Fix” spay/neuter surgeries for 100 feral and loosely-owned cats throughout the month of June as part of our Love a Cat Month celebration.
Donations will be accpeted along with Humane Society "wish list" items, whcih include: canned kitten food, cat toys and Kong dog toys, dog/cat nail clippers, kitty litter, shoe boxes, towels and more.
The Humane Society's Feline Fix is made possible through a $25,000 grant from ABC Stores and Humane Society donors. Call 356-2215 or email jdunn@hawaiianhumane.org to book a surgery appointment for June. Call today as only a limited number of sterilizations are available at this $10 rate.
Cats must be more than eight weeks old, weigh more than two pounds and be delivered in a cat carrier or humane trap. Humane traps are available for sale and on loan at the Humane Society (call 356-2285 for more information). SAME DAY drop-off and pick-up will be at the Humane Society.
"About 19 percent of Oahu residents own a cat and 17 percent are feeding cats they don't consider their own," says Pamela Burns, Hawaiian Humane Society president and CEO. "The Humane Society urges cat owners to keep their felines indoors for their pet's safety and to protect birds and other wildlife. Most importantly, all cats allowed outside - even those residents may be feeding but do not claim as their own - need to be sterilized."
