#cat overpopulation

This collaboration brings together two mission-driven organizations committed to reducing cat overpopulation in Hawaiʻi through ethical rescue practices, accessible veterinary care, and community education.

The onset of COVID required MHS to temporarily stop performing elective surgeries like spay and neuter for public animals. The ten week hiatus meant that more kittens were born, adding to Maui’s community cat overpopulation. Since reopening in July, Vet staff have worked to make up for the disruption in service.
