Adult cats are only admitted into the shelter if they are socialized enough to be adopted into a new home. Healthy unsocialized adult cats are not accepted into the shelter because they cannot be placed in homes and euthanizing healthy animals is against our mission. Unauthorized relocation of cats is illegal in the state of Hawaiʻi but if you think it may be a lost pet, please bring it to the Admissions Center at our Mōʻiliʻili campus. Please bring dogs in on a leash and cats or other small animals in a secure carrier. If it is not a pet, we support Trap-Neuter-Return-Manage (TNRM) and suggest bringing the cat(s) to a Community Spay/Neuter Center to be sterilized free of charge, and return it to your property afterward. If the cats are a nuisance there are a number of deterrents you can try.
