It's June and we're happy about two things--summer is now officially here and it's Love A Cat Month! Cats are the sweet and, sometimes, sassy animals that provide a quirky balance in our lives, and they deserve all the love too. All month long, we're celebrating the felines in our lives at home and on campus. Check out our website for more information about fun events and adoption specials we're hosting for our feline friends!

In honor of Love A Cat Month, enjoy waived adoption fees for all cats, age six months or older, from June 1 through 30. If you're looking to be a first-time pet owner or adding another furry friend to your family, consider adopting any of the Society's available animals. The Hawaiian Humane Society regularly has a variety of dogs, cats and small animals all patiently waiting for new homes.

Every weekend, Hawaiian Humane hosts adoption events at Petco and PetSmart locations islandwide. Check here to see when we'll be at one nearest you. You can also meet cats that are available for adoption at various Petco and PetSmart locations every day of the week and adopt.
