This powerful image captures the very essence of what we do at the Boo Boo Zoo: rescue. This little fawn, just like so many others, was given a second chance at life thanks to our dedicated team and the support of compassionate people like you.

The journey to recovery and a stable life for a rescued animal is ongoing, requiring consistent care, nourishment, and medical attention. Monthly donations are the backbone of our ability to provide this continuous support, ensuring that every rescued animal has the best possible outcome.

Home isn't a place. It's a feeling.

It's the feeling of a warm body to lean on, the quiet purr of a friend, and the absolute certainty that you are safe. For these two sweethearts, who came to us with stories we may never fully know, they have found that feeling here at the Boo Boo Zoo.

But this deep, quiet healing doesn't happen overnight. It's built on a foundation of consistency. Consistent meals. Consistent medical care. A consistently safe and loving environment where they can let their guard down and learn to trust again.

That’s why monthly donors are the heart of our mission. Your recurring gift isn't just a donation; it's the very rhythm of our sanctuary. It's the promise that this safe space will be here for them tomorrow, and the month after that, and for every animal who will need us in the future.

You can be the reason they feel this safe. You can be their "home."

A lifetime of intelligence and beauty. 💛

When we welcome an animal like this magnificent cockatoo into the Boo Boo Zoo, we are making a promise for its entire life. And for a bird that can live 70 years or more, that is a profound, long-term commitment.

A "forever home" truly means forever.

This promise requires more than a one-time gesture. It requires a steady, predictable source of funding for specialized food, stimulating enrichment, and avian vet care for decades to come. The financial future of our long-lived residents depends on the sustainable support of our community.

This is where you can make the most incredible impact. By becoming a monthly donor, you are investing in their entire future. Your recurring gift is a promise that we can continue to provide this high level of care, year after year, for as long as they need us.

You are not just giving a donation; you are helping us keep a lifelong promise.

This is our `ohana. The heart and soul of the East Maui Animal Refuge. ❤️

These are some of the dedicated people who show up, rain or shine, to care for our hundreds of rescued animals. They are the ones mixing the feed, cleaning the enclosures, administering medicine, and offering the gentle comfort that helps a frightened animal feel safe.

Our small but mighty team is working harder than ever to ensure every animal receives the best possible care. They provide the endless love and labor, but they rely on a wider circle of support to make it all possible. That's where you come in.

Your monthly donation is a powerful way to stand with our team, no matter where you are in the world. You become a vital part of our ohana. You are buying the food they serve, stocking the medical supplies they use, and keeping the lights on. You empower them to continue their incredible, life-saving work.

Support our team. Sustain our mission.

This is the 'why.'

This is the moment when all the hard work, the long hours, the cleaning, the feeding, and the worrying melts away into pure, unconditional love. This is the trust of a rescued animal who knows, perhaps for the first time, that they are completely safe.

This is the heart and soul of the East Maui Animal Refuge.

But these moments of profound connection are only possible because of a strong, stable foundation. The "how" behind this "why" is the day-in, day-out work of providing food, medicine, and shelter—the essentials that are funded by our supporters.

Your monthly gift is the fuel for this love. It's the quiet, steady heartbeat of our sanctuary that allows our caregivers to focus on what matters most: healing the hurt and nurturing the soul. It ensures we can always offer a safe embrace to an animal in need.

When you become a monthly donor, you're not just giving a gift. You are stepping into this hug. You are part of this circle of compassion.

At the Boo Boo Zoo, friendship knows no species. ❤️

This young fawn and lamb, both raised in our care after being orphaned, have found comfort and companionship in each other. Here, differences don't matter. What matters is a full belly, a kind friend, and a safe place to grow.

Sharing a meal is a simple joy, but providing thousands of these meals every month is our biggest and most constant challenge. From hay for our gentle grazers to specialized food for our other residents, the costs are ongoing and significant.

This is where your monthly gift makes all the difference. It transforms a one-time gesture into a reliable food supply. It turns a moment of help into a sustainable promise that the food bowls will never be empty, allowing friendships like this to blossom.

You can put this meal on their table. By becoming a monthly supporter, you ensure that our pantry is always stocked and that every animal, no matter their species, receives the daily nourishment they need to thrive.

Welcome to the Boo Boo Zoo nursery. ❤️

Each of these precious fawns arrived at our sanctuary orphaned or injured, too small and vulnerable to survive on their own. For them, a second chance at life requires intensive, around-the-clock care.

Raising these fragile babies means more than just a safe space. It means specialized formula, frequent feedings through the night, warm blankets, and constant monitoring to ensure they grow strong and healthy. It's a journey that takes dedicated, hands-on work.

This is what "last chance" rescue looks like up close. And it's a costly, long-term commitment for each and every life we save.

Your monthly donation is the lifeblood of this nursery. While a one-time gift can buy a bag of feed, a recurring gift ensures we have the formula for next week, and the week after that. It allows us to budget for their long-term care and to say "yes" when the next fragile baby needs our help.

You can be a part of their journey from the very beginning. Help us raise them strong.

Important message to share within the community… Thank you Kitty Charm Farm for all you do!

This isn't a staged photo. This is just... the Boo Boo Zoo.

It’s a place where a curious cat, majestic macaws, and gentle goats can share a moment of peace. It's a community built on the belief that every animal, regardless of its species or past, deserves a life filled with safety, respect, and companionship.

Caring for such a diverse family is our greatest joy and our biggest challenge. A goat's needs are different from a cat's, which are different from a parrot's. This means varied diets, specialized veterinary care, and unique housing requirements for hundreds of individuals. The logistics are complex and the costs are constant.

We've shared just a few glimpses into their lives. You've seen their friendships, their healing, and the deep bonds they share. Our commitment to them is for life, but our ability to fulfill that promise depends on you.

Please, become the foundation for our future. Your monthly donation is the most powerful way to ensure that this beautiful, wonderful world can continue. It allows us to budget, to plan, and to promise every animal here that they will always have a home.

Be the reason this harmony exists.
