Spay/Neuter – TNR
Oahu is large and the cat population is pervasive. Lucky Paws is not a vet clinic. We do not offer vet services or spay neuter surgeries here.
We rely mostly on volunteers and we can’t provide a directing trapping service at this time.
Therefore, we want to empower citizens to take charge and help themselves!
1. Make an appointment at the Spay/Neuter Center or Vet.
2. Contact us to teach you how to trap the animals in your area of concern.
3. We will lend you a trap! *based on availability.
4. Trap your kitties and get them to their appointment.
5. After you pick them up from their fix, hold them in a calm place for 24 hours then release them to their original environment.

FOUND KITTENS?
Let Mother and Kittens Thrive Outside
If you find kittens outdoors, DO NOT pick them up and take them indoors. Their mother is probably close by so please… Leave Them Be.
Why Shouldn’t I Take Kittens Inside?
Separating kittens younger than 8 weeks old from their mother is harmful to their wellbeing. Kittens need their mother and she is their best possible caregiver
What About an Animal Shelter?
Do not take mother cats or kittens to an animal shelter. Most shelters don’t have programs to provide the care unweaned kittens need. There is a risk the kittens will be killed.
How Can I Help?
You can help kittens by providing their mother with essentials like:
• Regular food and water. Get the details at alleycat.org/BestPractices.
• An outdoor shelter. Find options at alleycat.org/ShelterGallery.
• Peace and quiet. Keep an eye on mother and kittens but leave them be.
I Don’t See the Mother Cat
That doesn’t mean the kittens are abandoned or orphaned. Mothers RARELY abandon their offspring. Their mother may just be out looking for food.
She might even be hiding from you. Check on kittens for several hours, staying out of sight, to see if their mother returns.
What if the Kittens are Sick?
Contact your local veterinarian for help right away if the mother cat or kittens appear ill or injured.
