Hawaiʻi Cats
Empowering communities with tools and insights to manage feral cat colonies while protecting Hawaiʻi's native species.
About Hawaiʻi Cats
Hawaiʻi Cats is a community-focused initiative supported by Nene.org, dedicated to addressing the complex challenges posed by feral cat populations. Using data-driven tools and collaborative approaches, Hawaiʻi Cats provides solutions for humane and effective colony management while minimizing the impact on native wildlife.
Our Goals
- Identify priority areas where cat colonies overlap with habitats of protected species.
- Quantify the costs and resources required for effective colony management strategies.
By combining technology, research, and local collaboration, Hawaiʻi Cats seeks to create a sustainable balance between conservation and humane cat care.
