As the high season has ended, I have insufficient income to get through until September. I've been setting up and clearing a Spanish wine import business for launch next month. That should cover the sanctuary's financial needs. But until then, it is a major struggle.
Please contribute and ask any of your cat-loving friends or acquaintances if they can help out in any way.
Bags, cans, or packets of food, donations... They can drop off the bags or packages at Castaway's, Mulata Market, or wherever it is convenient for them, along with a message, and I will pick them up.
We need support until the 15th of this month and then until mid-September. Hopefully, we'll be on our feet again after that!

The cats of Castaway Cats Sanctuary and I would like to say a very special thank you to Brenda, Karen, Shari, Tammy, Dean and his Tobie Cat, and Suzanne for all your invaluable help and support!

"Kahu" is a Hawaiian term that signifies a guardian, protector, or caretaker, particularly in the context of something precious or cherished. It implies a deep responsibility and a special connection to what is being cared for. Beyond simply owning a pet, being a "kahu" means having a duty to protect and preserve the well-being of that animal.

TWICE RESCUED! Remember the cat that survived a 400 foot fall from a cliff at Bryce Canyon?!

The story came full circle when Chelsea Tugaw, Utah Department of Public Safety Aero Bureau pilot arrived at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah to adopt Mirage. Tugaw was piloting the helicopter 🚁 that responded to Bryce Canyon on the day when Mirage was found after the fall in a carrier. 🙏

As I tend to and care for my 15-plus kittens and 5 mother cats at Castaway Cats Sanctuary DR, I can't help but wish we had found Mama before it was too late. Every kitten that survives is an homage to you, Mama. May your spirit always be with us! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Bohknd1kT/https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Bohknd1kT/https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Bohknd1kT/

She was just a stray—thin, with missing patches of fur and eyes that told stories of hardship. They called her “Mama,” not because she had a home, but because she always had kittens with her.
No one knew where she came from. One spring morning, she appeared in an alley behind a bakery, carrying a tiny kitten, then another, until there were four. She curled around them in a cardboard box, her body sheltering them from the cold.
Mama didn’t eat unless they ate first. She didn’t sleep unless they were warm. Her love was silent but constant, her body frail, but her babies were healthy.
One stormy evening, the alley flooded. A man passing by heard a weak cry. He found Mama, soaked and trembling, blocking the rain from her kittens. All four were dry.
The vet said she was too weak, malnourished, and anemic. She had given everything. She hung on for two more days, just enough to see her kittens safe and warm.
Then, with her head resting in the man’s arm, she quietly passed away.
He buried her under the lilac tree in his yard.
The kittens grew strong.
Years later, one of them, Bella, had her own litter. Every time she curled around them, humming the same soft chirps Mama once made, the man would whisper:
“She taught you well.”
Because mother love is not bound by time, shelter, or even life. It’s sacrifice. It’s instinct. It’s forever.

Oliver Widger — the man who went viral for quitting his corporate job to sail the world — and his cat Phoenix arrived in Hawaii on Saturday, May 24, after their 24-day journey from Oregon. They were met with a huge crowd of admirers and a welcome celebration.

Calling out to all Cat People and the people who love them!

Many kittens have been affected by illness this season, so we at Castaway Cats Sanctuary really need all the help you can give to cover huge and ongoing veterinarian bills!

We also need lots of cat food, and we eat like horses!

Due to a horrible combination of non-receipt of payments, unpaid debts, and a reduced income, I am asking for all the help I can get until at least August!

It always seems to take longer to get paid or repaid for loans than I ever figure. And new jobs are still elusive!

Thanks so much from the cats and me.
