The Cat-idates Campaign: Turning Cat Personalities into Paws-itive Impact

What happens when two of Lānaʽi’s most charismatic cats face off for King and Queen of the ‘Jungle’? Our supporters get inspired, engaged, and generous!

In our first-ever Cat-idates Campaign, Cumulus (Queen of Coexistence) and Jackson (Defender of Feline Freedom) went whisker-to-whisker in a friendly contest to raise funds and awareness. Every dollar donated counted as a vote, and in the end, supporters raised thousands to support our 800+ cats.

This playful campaign wasn’t just about fun — it was about impact. It helped fund veterinary care, food, and enrichment while educating our audience about the sanctuary’s mission.

Cumulus ran on a platform of bird-watching and peace; Jackson championed independence and wild instincts. But no matter who supporters voted for, every cat benefited.
