Mission Statement

Hawaii Cat Foundation (HCF) is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, formed in 1993 and is dedicated to the welfare of Hawaii’s cats, including the humane reduction of the feral/stray cat population through an effective, non-lethal management program.

HCF’s management program utilizes a multifaceted approach, with focus on three main components:

1. TNRM (Trap Neuter Return Manage): Is an effective non-lethal alternative to euthanasia as the means of population control.

2. Education: Promotes responsible pet ownership, with particular emphasis on the importance of neutering pet cats as well as stray cats in the community.

3. Adoption/Sanctuary: Sociable stray cats are adopted to responsible homes whenever possible.
