All the latest cat stories.

  This sanctuary is a cat lovers dream. I visited twice during my stay on Lanai. The cats are all happy and well cared for. It was very clean and no smells at all, which was surprising given the number of cats. It was very relaxing to be at the sanctuary and hang out with so many kitties. Make sure you bring cash to make a donation and if you can wear pants. The cats have claws and want to sit on your lap. You could also bring a towel just to keep on your lap. I did get a cut on my thigh sitting under the tree by the main entrance when a fruit fell off the tree and spooked the cat on my lap. Don't forget to visit the senior cats and the medically fragile on the other side of the property.

  The cat sanctuary not only does amazing service for Lāna'i and the cats there, but also for visitors looking to enjoy themselves and relax with the cats. There's so many cats there and they're all really friendly and fun to feed/play with so long as you respect them and give them their space.

  Honestly, this was my favorite part of visiting Hawaii. I had lost my 17yr old kitty just weeks before our vacation and my heart was hurting. I spent a solid 4 hours with all the kitties and it was wonderful. Very clean place for the amount of cats there. They all seemed pretty happy.

  The cats are so cute!  Many of the cats are very tiny and round.  A few cats are shy but most are very friendly and love pets and treats.  One of the cats in the senior cat zone found a very cozy spot on our laps and did not want to move.  The cats seem to enjoy back scratches and treats.

  This is HEAVEN ON EARTH!!! There is no charge to go visit.  They do ask for donations.  On entering, they give you treats to feed all the kitties.  There are separate enclosures for the senior kitties , young kitties and special needs kitties.  You will want to take them all home with you, I did!  You can adopt the cats or sponsor them, donate food or just enjoy .  Some follow you around and want love while others just want to bask in the sunshine.  They have the cleanest bathrooms you will ever use.  This was beyond amazing to experience.  There is no smell with how well it is kept.  You don't have to love cats to have a wonderful time here.... loving cats just makes it that much better!!
