Part 6 – What about the Lāna‘i Cat Sanctuary?

The Lāna‘i Cat Sanctuary, rated by Trip Advisor as the #1 thing to do on Lāna‘i, is a 501-(c)(3) non-profit community service organization dedicated to managing feral cats on the island. Lanai Cat Sanctuary welcomes visitors and volunteers alike to its cage free outdoor cat enclosure or “Cat Sanctuary”.  A safe haven and adoption center for more than 600 happy cats.

The Lāna‘i Cat Sanctuary is the most unique animal rescue sanctuary of its kind and a haven that serves as a model for cats and conservation interests.  They do a wonderful job balancing those interests that sometimes seem to be in conflict.
