Lucky Paws Animal Foundation was founded in 2020 by a group of passionate cat lovers who wanted to do more — and never stopped.
Oʻahu's All-Volunteer Cat Rescue
Lucky Paws Animal Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of cats on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. Every single person on our team — from medical care to social media — is a volunteer. No paid staff. Just people who love cats.
We operate our Trap-Neuter-Release-Manage (TNRM) program to humanely reduce the feral cat population across Oʻahu, while giving every cat in our care the medical treatment and love they deserve before finding their forever home.
Our Lucky Paws Cat Resort supports the rescue financially — every boarding stay directly funds cat rescue operations. As we say: every stay saves a stray.
