Helping cats on the Big Island of Hawaii; advoCATS Inc. is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the well being of Hawaii's abandoned and homeless cat population. Read our brochure.

Doris Day Animal League show that a male and female cat can produce 12 cats the first year.
66 the second year,
382 the third year,
2,201 the fourth year,
13 million in nine years.

Since March 17, 1999, advoCATS, Inc. has spayed and neutered 10,372 cats! If you use the above calculation, we have saved an unbelievably large number of kittens from being born feral. The determination of our volunteers, and the donations from many made it possible.

Are you or someone you know feeding cats on the Big Island who are not members of advoCATS?

Please join with us, because it makes it hard for our trappers to trap a cat who has already eaten.

At some of the business locations, managers don't like empty bags or cans left behind, and the advoCATS feeder gets blamed for it.

If you would like to help with food or feeding, please contact us to see how you can best help the cats.

We need volunteers for various jobs:
feeding,
trapping,
taking TNR cats to veterinary appointments,
fostering kittens,
answering our advoCATS phone.

If you live on the Big Island of Hawaii and can spare a few hours a week you could really make a difference. The rewards are infinite and the kitties will thank you.
