About / Care standards
Our care standards
Every cat we place, whether for adoption or foster, leaves our care fully prepared. This is the same baseline for every cat, every time.
Done before adoption, no exceptions:
- Spay or neuter
- Age appropriate vaccines (FVRCP, rabies)
- Deworming
- Flea treatment
- FeLV/FIV blood test
- Microchip registered to you
Goes home with every cat:
- A few days of their current food
- A small bag of litter
- A favorite toy or blanket
- Vet records and microchip paperwork
- A care guide for the first week
Forever, not just at adoption:
- Text us anytime about behavior, food, or vet care
- Vet recommendations near you
- Help troubleshooting introductions or new routines
- If life changes, the cat comes back to us, no questions asked
What we won't compromise on
Hawai'i's wildlife, traffic, and disease load make outdoor life genuinely risky. Catios and screened lanais are great compromises.
Declawing is amputation, not a manicure. We require adopters to agree never to declaw.
Even kittens are altered before adoption. It's safe, quick to recover from, and prevents the next generation of homeless kittens.
A cat we placed is a cat we'll take back, ever, for any reason. We'd much rather you call us than rehome on your own.
Want to support this work?
Every spay/neuter costs us $80 to $150. Donations directly fund medical care for the next cat.
