Ps. Most kōlea have left for Alaska but this Kōlea Nui doesn’t typically make that journey… did you know that some kōlea stay in Hawaiʻi for the summer? If you see any now, make sure to report them at www.koleacount.org!

"Some Hawaiʻi-based animal care organizations support trap-neuter-return (TNR). We support sterilizing cats — it helps reduce the number of cats born outside. But returning sterilized cats to the landscape is unacceptable.

Scientific studies show repeatedly that TNR is ineffective due to pet abandonment and the constant influx of cats already on the landscape. A released cat, whether sterilized or not, and whether fed or not, will continue to kill birds and spread toxoplasmosis for the rest of its outdoor life."

The shared ground between wildlife and cat welfare advocates is broader than recent debates suggest.
