Volunteer with Lanai Cat Sanctuary
Lanai Cat Sanctuary
We work from sunrise to sundown, seven days a week to keep up with the needs of more than 600 cats. With a tiny residential population on Lānaʻi, there are no regular volunteers to help. The needs are constant to run a high-quality sanctuary. A few areas you can help with are:
Foster Care
Lanai residents can open their home temporarily to a kitten or cat in need. All supplies are provided, you just provide the TLC.
The Whole Kitten Kaboodle
Perhaps you own a print shop, video service, T-shirt company or other cool business. There’s always a project to partner on with your expertise.
Internships
Oahu university students can get hands-on experience in nonprofit management by providing support services in social media, website development, fundraising, communications, operations and more.
Volunteer Vacations
Visitors can help for a few hours or full days with a customized experience. Here’s more information about where to stay and how to get here. We do not subsidize or provide accommodations.
Animal Care
Feed, clean and care for more than 600 cats in residence. Includes cleaning housing.
Lanai Cat Sanctuary
About the organizer
It all began with sterilizing Lānaʻi’s street cats in 2004. That effort was followed by sheltering them in a horse corral in the mountain community of Kōʻele. We were just a small committed group of cat lovers trying to do the right thing on an island without an animal shelter, rescue group or veterinarian. The Sanctuary’s founder Kathy Carroll, a spirited cat lover, who had moved to the island with her artist husband Mike, led these efforts. Her innovation and activism drove the organization in its early days.
