I have just read that the Maui Humane Society has received an anonymous $5,000 donation and will consequently be offering free spaying/neutering for cats on Maui. An article I have recently read entitled, “Spay/neuter cats for free now to reduce strays later” states that the Puunene animal shelter will be offering free spaying/neutering of felines during February, the national Prevent A Litter Month.
Spring is the season when most animals reproduce and is one of the busiest seasons for the Maui Humane Society. In a bid to reduce the number of stray and feral felines roaming through Maui neighborhoods, the Maui animal shelter is putting this anonymous $5,000 donation to good use. This program is open to all cats, however, coordinators are concentrating mainly on feral cats and neighborhood strays because the large majority (80%) of domestic cats is already neutered or spayed.
According to this article, 6,300 cats were turned into the animal shelter last year, some went to foster homes and some were kept at the Humane Society for adoption. If you would like to have your cat spayed or neutered free, you will have to make a reservation with the Maui Humane Society by calling 877-3680 extension 23.
If you would like more information, or would like to help with this program, please read this article in MauiNews.com or contact the Maui Humane Society at 877-3680 ext. 23 for more information.
Aside from working to reduce the number of unwanted strays and feral cats, the Maui Humane Society is also continuously trying to find good homes for the cats it already has. If you or someone you know would like to adopt a kitten or older cat, please contact the Maui Humane Society at the telephone number above.
