PAWS everything - we're celebrating International Cat Day!

We're highlighting our favorite biscuit makers and purr-machines by sharing surprising cat facts and debunking common myths. Think cats are aloof and solitary? Think again! They are social creatures who crave affection and thrive with companionship. Like other pets, they require regular veterinary care, socialization and mental stimulation to live fulfilled and happy lives.

You can keep that glass of milk and sweet treat for yourself. Since cats are obligate carnivores, they rely on a high-protein diet packed with nutrients to keep them strong and healthy. Cats are also lactose intolerant and have a mutation in their taste receptor genes, so they are unable to taste sweet flavors.

To help as many of our feline friends as possible find loving homes, we're partnering with until the end of August to provide 50% off adoption fees for adult cats - AND when you adopt one kitten, the second kitten's adoption fee is completely waived! Whether you're looking for a playful pair of kittens or a mature adult, our Adoptions teams are here to help you find the perfect match for your family and lifestyle.

Fall in love with our cats available for adoption at our Mōʻiliʻili Campus, Kosasa Family Campus at Hoʻopili and select PETCOs on Oʻahu today! View an updated listing of cats available for adoption updated in real time at HawaiianHumane.org/adoptions.

Help us clear the shelters this month! We have nearly 900 pets in our care across both of our campuses, offsite adoption partners and in foster homes, so we're teaming up with NBCUniversal Local for their Clear The Shelters national adoption event happening all month long. Now through August 31, we're offering special incentives to promote pet adoption, with the goal of truly clearing the shelter so that we have the space for the pets that need it most - but we need your support!

To help adult dogs and cats seven months and older find loving homes, adoption fees are 50% off. These mature companions already have established personalities that make it easier to find the perfect match for your ʻohana and lifestyle. And because kittens do better in pairs, when you adopt one kitten, the second’s adoption fee is 100% waived! Kittens who grow up together develop stronger social skills and keep each other entertained and help each other learn proper behaviors through natural interaction, making the transition to their new home smoother for everyone. These special offers will be honored at Hawaiian Humane’s Mōʻiliʻili Campus, Kosasa Family Campus at Hoʻopili and at select PETCOs on Oʻahu through August 31.

Help us celebrate pets of all ages and stages by adopting and providing the loving ‘ohana they deserve! Browse our available animals here, HawaiianHumane.org/adoptions.

Meet the one, the only, Mr. Champion Wobbles Worth - the brave kitten who beat all the odds and came out on top. This dashing kitten came in small but mighty at just 90 grams, but that didn’t stop Champion from growing like clockwork and transforming into a lively, enthusiastic, and charming young cat.

He spent his neonatal days with a foster family who hand fed him every 2 hours and monitored him around the clock, which is why Champion became such a social butterfly who loves being around his favorite humans.

When Champion was diagnosed with cerebellar hypoplasia, also known as “the wobbles,” it simply became part of his unique charm. This condition affects balance and causes some coordination challenges, but it doesn’t stop cats like Champion from living full, happy lives. With a few simple accommodations like avoiding stairs or pools, these special cats thrive just like any other. Champion proved this by strengthening his muscles and mastering his own special way of moving through the world.

After 3 months of learning the ins and outs of kittenhood from his furry foster siblings, Champion had conquered more than just his wobbles - he had stolen hearts. Ready for his next adventure, he was microchipped, vaccinated, neutered and placed on the adoption floor, where he found his ʻohana within the first day.

August means double the love here at the Hawaiian Humane Society! We’re thrilled to join for their 11th annual nationwide campaign bringing families and pets together.

This month, when you adopt one kitten, the second kitten comes home with a completely waived adoption fee at our Mōʻiliʻili Campus, Kosasa Family Campus at Hoʻopili, and select PETCOs on Oʻahu. Why two? Kittens thrive with a companion to play, explore and learn proper social skills together. They keep each other entertained, reducing anxious behavior and provide comfort during new experiences. Plus, watching two kittens grow up together brings endless entertainment and double the purrs.

Looking for a more settled companion? Adult dogs and cats have 50% off adoption fees all month long. These mature pets come ready with established personalities and social skills that make finding your perfect match easier.

Whether you choose playful kitten pairs or a calm adult companion, you’re giving a deserving animal the loving home they’ve been waiting for.

Ready to open your heart and home? Visit us this August and make your ʻohana whole!

Look at these incredible happily-ever-afters! These photos showcase our VIP adoptions, and we couldn't be more thrilled to celebrate these amazing families who opened their hearts to our VIPs.

VIP stands for Very Important Paws, and every pet you see here waited 30+ days to find their right match. While some people hesitate about adopting pets who've waited longer, the truth is these animals simply needed the right family. Our extended time together means we know exactly what makes each VIP extraordinary.

The families you see here discovered what we've always known: VIP pets make incredible companions. Whether shy or energetic, young or senior, each of these animals was ready to give their whole heart to the right people. Their patience paid off, and their gratitude shines through in every photo.

Inspired by these adoptions? We still have amazing VIPs waiting for their moment to shine. Through July 31, all adoption fees are waived for pets waiting 30+ days, thanks to Josie's ʻOhana!
