The Lanai Cat Sanctuary consists of 25,000 square feet, so there’s plenty of space for the cats to roam. Most notably, there are no cages within the sanctuary. Cats are free to interact with other cats and live in a fairly natural environment. It’s likely that this living situation is less stressful than the traditional cage situation at most rescues is. With the ability to exercise, play, and interact with each other, the cats have a better shot at a healthier life.

A visit to the cat sanctuary will give you the chance to interact with these cats. The sanctuary offers public visiting hours and some people come to the island just to visit the sanctuary. Visitors can adopt or foster a cat, and you don’t have to live on the island to adopt. As for the cats that don’t find homes? They’re in no danger, and are able to live their entire lives at the sanctuary.
