At a public event at Maui Humane Society held Sunday night, Interim Executive Director Jenny Miller announced that Maui Humane has created a special donation fund to help bring lifesaving care and attention to vulnerable cats and kittens in the shelter’s care. One in five cats or kittens (who are sick, too young or too old) do not leave the shelter alive. Therefore, the fund aims to increase the cat live release rate to 90% by addressing the vulnerable population first. Persons interested in life-saving for cats and kittens can donate directly at
