About Us
![]() The Kauai Humane Society, a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals (SPCA), was incorporated in 1952. We are an independent and private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization directed by a committed board of community professionals.
What is our mission?The Kauai Humane Society is dedicated to ensuring compassionate, informed care of all Kauai's animals and promoting the human-animal bond. How do we serve the people and animals of Kauai?Animal protection and prevention of cruelty through education, legislation, and enforcement. Community outreach promoting humane values, the human-animal bond, and compassionate and informed care of all animals. Control of pet overpopulation and eliminating the need for euthanasia of adoptable animals through public education, easily accessible and affordable spay/neuter services, and effective legislation. Emergency disaster services for the entire family including pets through partnerships with other organizations and the government. Provide a quality, professional shelter where animals are provided a safe haven and people have convenient access for recovery and adoption of lost and homeless animals. How are we funded?We work closely with other animal welfare organizations nationally and locally to protect Kauai's animals but receive no funding from these organizations. Annually, we apply for a grant from Kauai county government to provide animal care and control services and a low cost spay-neuter program for Kauai residents. Other community services and programs are funded by our Lihue thrift store, grants, and donations from supportive and generous individuals, businesses and community organizations. In February 2002, we opened a satellite rabies-quarantine facility for pets of new residents moving to Kauai. This fee for service is helping us fund final construction requirements to complete our new facility.
What do we do?In the summer of 2001, we moved from Hanapepe to our beautiful new home in Puhi where we provide many community services in addition to sheltering lost and homeless pets:
