🚨 NEONATAL KITTEN REMINDER 🚨

These tiny kittens were recently dropped off at Waikele Waipahu Pet Hospital, and they still had their umbilical cords attached. 💔

We want to use this as a reminder: If you find newborn kittens, please leave them alone! 🐾

Mama is often nearby getting food or watching from a distance. Removing neonates too quickly can separate them from the one thing they need most — their mother. ❤️

👉 Unless the kittens are in immediate danger, please give mama time to return. Observe from a distance and, if possible, monitor the area for several hours. Only intervene if it has been a significant amount of time and mama has truly not returned, or if the kittens are sick, injured, or in immediate danger.

Those umbilical cords are a pretty clear sign these babies were brand new. They deserved the chance to stay with their mama.

If you find neonatal kittens and aren't sure what to do, please reach out to a local rescue or TNR group for guidance before picking them up.

Sometimes the best thing we can do for kittens is simply wait. 🐱❤️

🌺🐾 ALOHA KITTY’S FUREVER HOME FRIDAY WEEKLY ADOPTION ROUNDUP 🐾🌺

There’s nothing quite like ending the week with a whole lot of HAPPY NEWS! 🥹❤️

We are going to start this week's round up a little differently by giving a summer round up, and then follow up next week with the first two weeks in September, and then make this a weekly round up the week after that!

This summer (June, July, August), so many of our favorite faces found their purrmanent packs! A total of THIRTY Aloha Kitty cats officially found their forever homes! 🏡🐱

Adopted in June (19):

1. M3, our little orange energizer bunny
2. Mama Sandy, our Sand Island mama who thought it was a good idea to keep her kittens in a warehouse wall!
3. Cali, our gorgeous girl
4. Oliver, snuggly orange boy
5. Leia, our stunning Lynx point princess
6. Gohen, our honeymoon souvenir
7. Pepe, number 3600 at the Hawaii Cat Cafe and their first adoption at their new location!
8. & 9. Hoki and Lil Lord Marty P. Fluffalupegas, adopted together!
10. Chickie Drumstick, a cafe fave, who went home with one of their employees!
11. Mychal Deweth Decimal, Patron Saint of Library Kids, a friend to everyone
12. Chuy, our panleuk survivor,

July (3):
20. Kakahiaka, our precious angel who survived a horrible instance of animal abuse
21. Dot, our charming void
22. Patches, who may have one eye, but spied the arm chair he would claim as his own the moment he walked into his new home!

August (8)
23. Luke, our opinionated prince
24. Yoshi, our excellent Stand Issue Cat specimen
25. Sleepy, who took the most pleased-with-herself adoption photo we have ever seen
26. Bully, our handsome blue boy
27. Dory, our one eyed wondercat
28. Cloud, our Siamese fluffball
29. Stormy, our rainbow during the storm
30. Spike, our girl with the name that was opposite of her personality!

Every one of these adoptions represents a different story. Some started as community cats who needed TNR. Some were kittens who needed a safe place to grow. Some were scared, shut down, sick, injured, or simply overlooked. And some were lucky enough to have someone spot them and say, “That’s my cat.” 🙌

Whatever their beginning, this summer they all have something in common:

They have a HOME. 🏡✨

🐾 HELP US NAME THIS LITTLE GUY! 🐾

This adorable little guy needs a name—and we’re looking for a $100 Name Sponsor to give him one! 💜🐱

He came to us from a farm in Waimānalo, the same area where Leilani recently did a field assessment with a mama cat and her kittens. You may remember the little ones she was flipping upside down to check out! 😹

This sweet boy was found all alone in a field, soaking wet from the grass. 💔 We believe there may be another kitten out there with him. A second kitten has been heard and possibly spotted, so the search is ON to see if we can find his sibling and bring them both to safety. 🐾

Unfortunately, this is something Leilani sees far too often. Because it’s out in the country, some people seem to think it’s okay to drive out, dump cats, and leave them behind. But the reality is that these cats don’t just disappear. They survive however they can, reproduce, and before long there are even more cats and kittens struggling to survive.

Leilani is constantly out there trying to TNR, fix cats, and stop the cycle, but every time she returns, there seem to be new cats—and new litters of kittens. 😿

This little guy is one of the lucky ones. He was found. He’s safe. And now he needs a name. 💜

✨ Want to be his $100 Name Sponsor?
Your donation will help support his veterinary care, provide food, and give this tiny survivor a name of his very own!

📩 Message us if you’d like to sponsor his name!

And if you’re in the Waimānalo area and know of additional cats or kittens that need help, please reach out. TNR is how we break this cycle—one cat at a time. 🐱💜

Meet Gus Gus — the orange boy who was mistaken for a feral! 🍊❤️

Gus Gus arrived at HHS with the label of “feral.” But once he was properly evaluated, it became very clear that this sweet boy had a very different story to tell.

A microchip was found, although unfortunately there was no owner information attached to it. Based on his behavior and personality, it appears Gus Gus was likely dumped or surrendered rather than truly feral. Sadly, his ear had already been clipped before he was evaluated, so his little clipped ear will forever tell a story that doesn’t quite match the loving cat we now know him to be. And what a cat he is! ❤️

Gus Gus loves people. He has yet to meet a stranger and greets everyone with the sweetest, gentlest personality. He enjoys attention, affection, and being included in whatever is happening around him. He is the kind of cat who makes you wonder how anyone could have ever looked at him and thought, “feral.”

Every day, Gus Gus continues to surprise us. He is incredibly smart, curious, adaptable, and eager to learn. He has now been introduced to other cats and dogs and has handled both beautifully. 🐱🐶

He also gets on great with teenagers, and while it takes him a little longer to suss them out, does well with preschoolers too!

But perhaps one of the most adorable things about Gus Gus? This boy wears a harness and walks wonderfully on a leash! 🐾 He’s proving that he isn’t just looking for a home — he’s ready to be part of a family and experience life alongside his people.

Gus Gus would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a sweet, affectionate, easygoing, gentle, and genuinely special cat. Whether he’s getting cuddles, exploring his surroundings, meeting new friends, or showing off his leash-walking skills, this orange boy is simply happy to be loved.

His clipped ear may have caused people to make assumptions about him, but spend a little time with Gus Gus and he’ll show you exactly who he is. He is not the “feral” cat he was once thought to be. He is a loving boy who deserves a loving home. ❤️

🐾 Nico Update! 🐾

This little bundle of cling is healing up beautifully and quickly! ❤️‍🩹 And let’s be clear… being down one eye is NOT slowing this boy down! 👁️❤️

Nico has the perfect mix of playful, snuggly, and “I need to be involved in EVERYTHING you’re doing.” 😂 He’s a total lovebug who would happily be your shadow all day long.

He may be a one-eyed wonder, but he hasn’t lost one ounce of his zest for life! He’s healing, thriving, and showing us more of his sweet personality every single day. 🥰

We’re so grateful for everyone who has helped Nico get to this point. But his medical bill isn’t paid in full yet, and we still owe $500 on his bill. 💔

Donate here:
➡️ https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/7d44c86a-9c8d-48cb-8a4d-60c4c3488ae0

If you’re able to donate toward Nico’s care, even a few dollars makes a difference. Every donation helps Aloha Kitty TNR continue saying YES to cats like Nico who desperately need a chance. 🐾❤️

Please help us get Nico’s bill paid off! 🙏
Let’s finish this little guy’s journey to recovery together! ❤️

Thank you for loving our one-eyed wonder as much as we do! 🥹🐾

🐈🌧️ HURRICANE LOWELL IS COMING - MALAMA PONO, ‘OHANA 🌧️🐈

Kitty is puzzled by the path Lowell is taking, and so are we! So it is best that we prepare for the worse and p**e for the best!

**For indoor cats:**

🐾 Make sure they are all safely inside and accounted for before the weather gets bad.

🐾 Make sure doors, windows and screens are secure.

🐾 Keep carriers somewhere you can grab them quickly.

🐾 Give nervous cats a quiet, secure place to hide - if that safe place can be their carrier, even better!

🐾 Make sure you have enough food, water, litter and medications for several days.

**For community cats:**

🐾 Make sure cats have access to familiar, protected places where they can get out of the wind and rain. Avoid making major last-minute changes that could cause them to avoid a shelter they already know.

🐾 Put fresh water somewhere covered and protected from wind, rain and runoff. Elevate them if flooding is a concern.

🐾 Stock up on enough food and water to continue caring for the colony after the storm passes. Roads may be unsafe or inaccessible, and conditions can remain hazardous even after the rain stops.

🐾 **Do not put yourself in danger to check on or feed a colony during the storm.** Get everything prepared ahead of time and wait until conditions are safe before going back out.

And please **don't wait until the weather is already nasty to get prepared.** That's when the doors start blowing around, the rain starts coming sideways, and suddenly the cat who normally comes running for dinner has developed a very strong interest in being absolutely anywhere except where you need them to be.

**Stock up now:**

🥫 **Cat food** — enough for several days, plus extra in case roads or stores are inaccessible.

💧 **Water** — for the cats and the people caring for them.

🪣 **Cat litter** — enough to get through several days without needing to restock.

💊 **Medications** — make sure you have enough of anything your cats need.

🧻 **Paper towels and cleaning supplies** — because somebody is going to make a mess.

🛏️ **Towels and blankets** — for drying cats and keeping everyone comfortable.

🔦 **Flashlights and extra batteries** — especially if the power goes out.

🔋 **Charged power banks** — to keep phones going if the power is out.

🧳 **Carriers** — accessible and ready in case an individual cat needs to be transported.

🐟 **Treats and familiar comfort items** — because cats deserve emergency snacks too.

Take care of yourselves, take care of your cats, and take care of your community.

**Let's keep our 'ohanas and our pōpoki safe! ** 🐾😽
