Hi everyone,
Today’s guest post comes from Martina about the Lanai Cat Sanctuary.
The island just south of Maui and Moloka?i is home to a cat sanctuary housing more than 450 cats. Larry Ellison (cat lover and gazillionaire that owns 98% of the island) acquired this non-profit organization that was started to protect the native birds the feral cats were preying on. But let’s be honest here; today, it’s all for the cats. So much so that it’s become the # 1 rated attraction for the island on Trip Advisor.
The sanctuary is open daily and is free of charge. For more information, visit their website here: Lanai Cat Sanctuary, and then plan your trip! Lana?i’s Little Lions will thank you, and T Swift would approve.

I shared this post to https://www.facebook.com/HawaiiStolenParadiseATravelogue/ – it’s a page about a trip I took to Hawaii, which I expanded to include a full history of Hawaii. Please visit! I love cats and Hawaii. 🙂
Thank you 😀 and I’ve never been to Hawaii!
Reblogged this on Rattiesforeverworldpresscom.
Thank you <3
What a wonderful thing to do, and a wonderful place I’d love to visit!
Thank you ^^
Amazing: A great idea and a safe place for the cats pressure off the birds on the island.
Indeed 🙂
A True Paradise

I reblogged, O.K. Marc-André?
Of course! You are always welcome to reblog and it’s much appreciated. 🙂

Sweet Jesus! I lost count for highest number of cats to appear in the one photo!
Haha 😮
What a great place, with a great mission! We’d sure love to visit there someday. 🙂
Us too! We are very lucky that the author allowed us to re post this story. 🙂
I was last on Maui in 2004…the year they started. I used to go almost every year (now I travel much farther away…to Italy). I would love to visit here someday. The view from my lanai was of that island with the sun setting behind it.
I really wanna go there one day. We are I. New York at the moment btw. :). Have visited two of the local cat cafes now. ^^
Looking forward to your pictures in a future post. Enjoy your visit this side of the pond!
Thank you 😀
What an awesome looking place!
🙂
beautiful
Reblogged this on ravenhawks' magazine and commented:
Thanks for sharing this amazing place.
Thank you ^^
Sharing to Facebook for my cat loving friends!
Thanks so much 😀
You are welcome! Trust me I have some friends who are major cat lovers. They WILL go here whenever they get to Hawaii. So will I – if I ever manage to get there. haha
🙂
I’ve heard of this place and I’ve been plotting how I can get my husband and step-children to agree to island hop, so that we can check it out. I’m fearful that I will love it so much, that they’ll just have to leave me there!
It looks amazing so if you can you should go. 🙂
