In today’s challenging economy, as some families find themselves with one or more pets that can’t go with them if they move or that they can no longer care for, no-kill shelters, rescue groups or organizations become all the more important.
These organizations and people care for and give a voice to animals that cannot speak or care for themselves.

We focus our resources on dogs who have needs beyond what the local shelter or community members can provide and bring in as many cats and kittens as we have fosters available. Many of our animals have special needs: sick, injured, elderly, and ones with behavior challenges. Additionally, we are building our cat sanctuary: Kaua`i Cat Haven. Upon completion we will be able to house hundreds of cats, both domesticated and feral. Currently, all of the dogs and cats under our care live at our sanctuary or are in foster care.

Save Our Shearwaters: Kauai is home to many species of seabirds that nest and raise their young in our mountain forests and coastal beaches. When they leave their nests, seabird fledglings are guided by the light of the moon out to sea. By eliminating stray light, we can reduce the number of young birds that get confused and fall inland rather than continue out to sea. Since SOS was created by the state in 1979, volunteers and residents have collected 31,224 seabirds – 92 percent of which recovered and were released. For seabird emergencies and public SOS aid station locations, call (808) 635-5117. More important info: www.kiuc.com
