Lāna'i Cat Sanctuary

Planning a Hawai‘i Vacation? Add Lāna‘i Cat Sanctuary to Your Itinerary

  • Lāna‘i offers Maui visitors an opportunity to add another island experience to their vacation.
  • The Lāna‘i Cat Sanctuary is home to more than 700 rescue cats and supports the protection of native Hawaiian birds.
  • Visiting the sanctuary does not require an admission fee and can become a memorable part of a Maui or Hawaiʻi itinerary.

If you are collecting Hawai‘i vacation ideas or building the perfect Maui itinerary, consider adding a trip to Lānaʻi. A great Hawai‘i travel guide should include more than beaches and scenic overlooks. Some of the most memorable experiences come from discovering places that connect you with the islands, their animals, and the people working to protect them.

The Lāna‘i Cat Sanctuary gives visitors the chance to do exactly that.

Is Lāna‘i Worth Visiting From Maui?

Our sanctuary is home to more than 700 rescue cats, affectionately known as our Lānaʻi Lions. Visitors can spend time with the cats while learning about a mission that extends beyond feline rescue.

We believe saving cats and protecting birds can go hand in hand. Our work creates a safe and loving home for rescued cats while helping protect Lānaʻi’s native bird populations and fragile ecosystem.

That combination makes a sanctuary visit more than another stop on a sightseeing list. It is an opportunity to see how compassion and conservation can work together on an island community.
