It’s true!
Cats sneak in, steal our hearts and are worthy of the best we can give
Twenty percent of Oahu families share their
lives with a cat and all cat owners agree on a
few truths. Cats are connoisseurs of comfort
and they never suffer from insomnia. And
while dogs come when they’re called; cats
take a message and get back to you later. It’s
said that thousands of years ago cats were
worshipped as gods. And yes, cats have never
forgotten this fact.
These are just a few of the many quirks that
make cats such a treasured part of our lives.
In fact, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, there are more
than 82 million owned cats compared to
72 million dogs that share our lives in the
United States. Since 1997, the Hawaiian
Humane Society has found new families for
more than 25,000 cats.
Barbara Jurkens adopted her cat, Tina,
from the Hawaiian Humane Society in
June 2007. Although she’s had other pets,
this was her first shelter adoption. She was
hesitant because she thought it would
be too hard to select just one when so
many are in need. “During my visit to the
Humane Society, I discovered that when
an animal speaks to your heart, it must
come home with you,” said Barbara.

what you can do to make yourself

President’s Message Don’t dogs deserve better?
It’s a fact. Something needs to be done to
accommodate the large and growing population of dogs that share our lives.
Our relationships with dogs have evolved.
On Oahu, more than 210,000 dogs share
our homes. For many of us, they are
among our closest companions. Hospitals,
hospices and nursing facilities where our
most vulnerable are cared for, allow dogs.
Many of our finest hotels welcome dogs.
Yet many outdoor places – both county
and state managed – still prohibit an owner from walking his well-behaved dog on a
leash. No dogs are allowed on city sidewalks in all of Oahu’s county parks. And
the State of Hawaii has now banned dogs
from the wide and paved hiking path to
the Makapuu light house, which has been a
favorite trail of the Humane Society’s Paws
on Path hiking club for many years.
Communities from coast to coast on the
U.S. Mainland have reconsidered their
archaic laws that ban dogs in public
spaces. Cities are finding innovative ways
to accommodate responsible pet ownership – piloting programs for off-leash
dog beaches, designating areas for voice
controlled dog walking, and even issuing
walking permits (where you must pass a
test on rules and regulations) to enable
dogs in city parks. Enlightened leadership
nationwide has come to its senses and
realizes: There is no proof that responsible
dog walking should be prohibited in our
communities. In fact, dog walking not only
provides for quieter neighborhoods, it creates healthier citizens. Nationwide studies
have proven that dog owners are healthier
and happier than those without animal
companionship.
Sound state, county and community
policies that affect dogs in public
places should reflect the
facts. And the facts
are that the majority
of pet owners are
responsible, and that pet owners represent
the majority of the population.
Policy makers should also recognize that
dog owners contribute additional taxes
to the county; and any policy should be
evaluated by how it can adversely affect
these constituents.
It’s the job of our leadership to stand up
for policies that favor the majority and
find creative solutions to deal with the slim
minority of offenders. It’s our job to make
responsible pet ownership our personal
policy. By picking up after our dogs and
keeping them leashed and under our control at all times, we can prove to everyone
that we can harmoniously share public
spaces.

Getting a leg up at the 2008 legislature
A major part of our commitment to you
and Hawaii’s animals is providing our state
leadership with a clear, strong and educated voice at the Legislature. Here are this
year’s highlights, which have been signed
into law by Governor Linda Lingle.
Victory! – Horses protected under Pet
Cruelty Law. Last year’s victory established
a pet cruelty law in which those convicted
of abuse could face felony-level penalties
for certain crimes against pets.
Cats, dogs, smaller animals and even pet
pigs received added protection under this
2007 law. However, horses were excluded.
Thanks to Senator Clayton Hee who successfully fought to make animal cruelty a
felony, equine animals are now included in
the felony animal cruelty law.
Victory! – Animal Quarantine Site Use.
For years, the Hawaiian Humane Society
has pursued leasing unused land parcels
at the animal quarantine site, an under-

utilized facility since the Society successfully fought to reduce the need for lengthy,
onsite quarantine of newcomer pets to
Hawaii. It required rent to be set at retail,
fair market value. This made lease agreements unaffordable.
This year the legislature removed the “fair
market value” requirement, which opens
the door for the Humane Society to revisit
the opportunity to expand its operations to
better serve west and central Oahu.

Little Known Cat Facts
The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a unique pattern
just like the fingerprint of a human.
If your cat is near you and her tail quivers,
she is expressing love.
A cat rarely meows at another cat. This sound
is reserved for humans.

With 16 hours a day of shut eye, cats are the sleepiest of all
mammals. With that in mind, a seven year old cat has only
been awake for two years of its life!
Your cat is probably either a “righty” or a “lefty.” Only 40
percent of cats are ambidextrous.

Sun protection for your pet
during the dog days of summer
It’s a fact. Summers keep getting hotter
and sun rays are becoming stronger.
And that means not only do you need
better protection, so does your dog.
lists pet sun protection available at
www.doggles.com, www.nutri-vet.com
and www.epi-pet.com. Sensitive
skin or baby sunscreen for humans
can also be used on pets, as long as
it’s not zinc oxide, which can make
a dog anemic if ingested. Products
with Octyl Salicylate should not be
used on cats.
While their coat offers excellent protection against the sun’s rays, dogs who
expose their belly to the sun may also
need sunscreen. Protect sensitive areas
where skin is thin and there is no hair
such as shaved areas, their nose, inside
legs and their belly.

Help Pets Beat the Heat!
Older dogs, snub-nosed dogs
and those with thick coats are especially in danger of heat-related
illnesses during the summer.
Help dogs chill out.
If your dogs are left outside, buy
an inflatable kids pool and fill it
with water for them to cool down
and play in. Ensure there’s always
shade and fresh drinking water
for your pet.
Exercise in the cool hours.
Change your schedule to exercise
pets in the early morning or
evening hours. A dog’s paws
can get burnt on hot pavement
– keep walks on hot asphalt to a
minimum.
Help dogs in hot cars.
If you happen to see a pet alone
in a hot car, alert management of
the store where the car is parked.
If the owner doesn’t return
promptly, call the police department immediately.

Your financial support enables the
Hawaiian Humane Society to further
all of its programs and goals. All funds raised

societies across the country in a common
concern for animals, we are an independent
Hawaii organization and receive no funding
from national organizations. We are also
not an United Way agency.
Missy’s gone missing, microchip sends her home
Connie Ching and her daughter Casey lost
their cat Missy last Thanksgiving. They had
given up hope and thought she was lost
forever.
Four months later, Connie received the
call: Missy was found! She had been captured in a cat trap at a Waimanalo horse
stable, dozens of miles from home.
Missy meowed miserably in the trap, according to the woman who released her
from it realizing she was too friendly to be
feral. The Hawaiian Humane Society was
called to scan the cat for a microchip and it
turned out she had owners that were missing her dearly.

and her family is nursing her back to
health.
In 2007, the Society helped 691 cats and
1,793 dogs find their way home. However,
the human-animal reunion was expedited
for 1,133 families because their pet was
wearing ID.
A year after the 1995 Cat ID law passed,

a 137 percent increase in the number of
reunions between lost cats and their owners. This landmark legislation set holding

Be Kind to Animals Week
Kids nab honors with kindness
When a student is poised with a paint brush, pen, or
even a crayon in hand, something profound happens.
The subject matter and their imagination collide in a
way that creates appreciation and respect.
Teaching children to be kind to animals helps pave the
way for a brighter future for all creatures. Learning about
compassion and empathy benefits children by building moral character, reducing community violence and
encouraging empowerment and personal responsibility.

Upcoming Events
June 20 is Take Your Pet to Work Day!
E-mails and phone calls are more fun
with Fido and Fluffy. On Friday, June 20
the nation celebrates “Take Your Pet to
Work Day” by encouraging businesses to
welcome employees’ pets for the day or
by hosting an office activity that honors
animal companions.
If your employer has a no pets policy, you
can organize a donation drive of “wish
list” items needed by your local animal
shelter, encourage co-workers to bring a
photo of their pet to work, or invite the
Humane Society to present information
on how it helps the people and animals.
In a 2006 American Pet Products
Manufacturers Association survey of
pet-friendly companies, 96 percent of
employers surveyed said animal companions created positive work relations and
73 percent thought pets create a more
productive work environment.
Share your pet-friendly office stories and
pets-at-work photos by e-mail to
[email protected]. Pet-friendly offices should consider
these tips.
Be sensitive and accommodate the
needs of co-workers with allergies
or those who don’t want to work near
animals.
Welcome only housetrained,
well-socialized pets that are always under owner control.
Bring along food, water and his
favorite treats.
Kea, who loves tummy rubs, homemade doggie
cookies, and playing with her sister Luci (the
cat), also enjoys hanging out at Fishcake, where
employees are welcome to bring their pets.
Pet calendar entries due June 30
There is still time to submit your favorite pet photo, which will
appear in the Humane Society’s 2009 calendar.

Feline Fix Results
Statewide humane societies unite for Feline Fix
In celebration of National Spay Day, the
Humane Society sterilized 278 cats for
“Feline Fix,” a February promotion that
offered spay/neuter surgeries in exchange
for a donated item that the Society could
use such as towels and cat or dog toys.
“There are so many good reasons to
have your pet spayed or neutered,” said
Hawaiian Humane Society president,
Pamela Burns. “It’s a fact that surprises
many people, but one un-spayed cat and
her offspring can produce 420,000 kittens in just seven years.”
Feline Fix was a statewide promotion in
partnership with other island humane
societies. While each is an independent
nonprofit organization, the societies are
united by a shared mission.
Thanks to the generosity of an anony-
I
CATS
mous donor, the Maui Humane Society
was able to schedule 110 spay/neuter
surgeries in just three weeks. As they
filled their last surgery appointments, a
second donor – Makana O Maui Fund
– contributed enough funds to allow for
220 additional appointments.
Hawaii Island Humane Society’s Keaau and Kona shelters performed 379
free feral cat spay and neuter surgeries
throughout the month. In addition, the
shelter provided coupons for free spaying
and neutering of domestic cats, which
were accepted at select veterinary clinics.
Throughout February, the Kauai Humane Society performed 124 spay/neuter
surgeries. The shelter also offered its
first-ever mobile clinic at Ching Young
Village Shopping Center in Hanalei.
City & County snips critical
Neuter Now funding
In March 2008, the City & County of
Honolulu suspended Neuter Now, a program which provides dog and cat owners
with reduced-rate sterilization certificates
eligible for use at participating Oahu
veterinarian offices. Limited funds were
released in May, however the program
won’t be fully reinstated until July 1, 2008
when a new cycle of funding begins.
Since 2002, Neuter Now has faced budget
decreases while the fees that pet owners
pay for the certificates have increased
significantly. If you are interested in helping to increase funding for the program,
contact your City Council member.
Researchers at the Minnesota Stroke Institute in Minneapolis found that people
who own cats have a lower risk of dying from a heart attack or other cardiovascular
disease, including stroke.

only); a personal tag with his name,
your name and telephone number; and
a microchip. However, a microchip is
only effective if your contact information matching the electronic ID tag is
kept current with the Humane Society,
which maintains the most comprehensive database for Oahu’s pets. To
update contact information linked to
your pet’s microchip, go to
www.hawaiianhumane.org (Other Programs & Services / Pet Identification).
In August, visit the Society’s Web site
for information about “Microchip
Madness,” where veterinary clinics
from Waianae to Waimanalo help
to make pet identification easier by
providing low-cost, lifetime microchip
IDs for a flat rate of $5.

If you’ve lost your pet ...
Help missing pets find their way home
Today, tell someone you love about the
Humane Society’s lost pet policies. Always tell your pet sitter how quickly they
must take action if your pet is missing.
Lost animals brought to the shelter with
a microchip, ID tag or license are held
a minimum of nine days, and then are
eligible for adoption. Lost animals without any ID are held for a minimum of 48
hours before being eligible for adoption.
A lost pet report is kept on file for 30
days and can be renewed. A current
photo of the missing animal should also
be included with the report.
Here’s what to do in case your
pet is missing:
– File a missing pet report.
– Visit the shelter daily as your descrip-
tion of your pet may not match ours.
– Search for your pet at
www.hawaiianhumane.org.
– Canvas the neighborhood.
– Post signs in your neighborhood and at nearby veterinarian clinics.
– Knock on doors so your neighbors are
on the lookout.
Be Akamai!
Perk up your ears, sniff around when acquiring a pet
Paris Hilton and Britney Spears made
headlines in 2007 for unknowingly purchasing their pooches through a highend Beverly Hills pet shop that acquired
animals through a puppy mill supplier.
Hawaiian Humane Society estimates
that hundreds in Hawaii are also buying
animals from irresponsible breeders every
year.
In 2003, dozens of customers of Hawaii
Kai breeder Lucy Kagan were horrified to
find that their animals were raised in the
cramped, filthy quarters of a small, Hawaii
Kai townhome. The Hawaiian Humane
Society fought for a conviction for years.
Irresponsible breeders often sell their animals to the public online, through newspaper ads, out of parking lots and sometimes
through pet shops. Mass producing animals in such environments means profits
are a bigger priority than the animals’
welfare. Some common characteristics are
over-breeding, inbreeding, minimal veterinary care, lack of human socialization and
overcrowded, unsanitary living quarters.
If you feel that the Humane Society or another trustworthy pet adoption organization doesn’t have a pet you could love, start
with referrals from a veterinarian, friends,
breed clubs, the Hawaii Kennel Club, Cat
Fanciers Club or Hawaii’s dog magazine
Ilio to find a reputable breeder.
Buyers should both ask a lot of questions
and also welcome questions from breeders
who want to ensure that their animals are
finding quality homes.
Here are five must do’s when looking for a
new pet:
Ask the Humane Society and other
groups whose priority is animal welfare to
look out for a specific breed you’re interested in.
Insist on viewing the home and area
where the animals live.
Ask how frequently the animal has
been bred and ask for references. A
responsible caregiver will not breed an
animal more than three times.
Ask for healthcare and vaccination
records, as well as genetic-related health
concerns for specific breeds.
Ask for a 30-day refund option, as there
are no laws protecting you from those who
falsify a breed or sell animals with geneticrelated problems.
Visit www.hawaiianhumane.org for a brochure on how to shop responsibly for your
next family member.
“If a homeless cat could talk, it would probably say, ‘Give me shelter,
food, companionship and love, and I will be yours for life!’”
- Susan Easterly
Who will love me when you’re gone?
Nationally, more than 67 percent of pet
owners regard their animals as family but
only a quarter of Americans provide for
them in a will or trust.
Honolulu resident Amy Nishiki recently
began the search for a pet guardian in the
event that she is not able to care for her
dog Bart who is used to so much more
than a loving home and frequent tummy
rubs. Amy needs someone to cook Bart’s
meals, trim his nails and brush his teeth
daily.
In 2005, Hawaii welcomed a new law that
allows pet owners to set up trust provisions for their furry heirs. It allows you
to detail care provisions, name a care
provider and even designate a monitor to
ensure that your wishes are carried out.
There is no limit as to the amount of money you can leave your pet, but it’s recommended that owners leave a “reasonable”
amount so your request is not challenged
by family members or invalidated by the
court.
When drawing up a pet trust with your
attorney consider also sharing information about your pet including his habits
(eating, sleeping, exercising), his personality around other animals or with children,
and his medical history.
For more information on pet survivorship,
contact your attorney or call the Hawaiian
Humane Society at 356-2224.
Pampered Pets
The world record in pet inheritance
belongs to Gunther III, who was
bestowed $80 million from German
Countess Carlotta Liebenstein in
1991.
Billionaire Hotelier Leona Helmsley
left $12 million to her dog making
him the single biggest beneficiary of
her estate.
Oprah Winfrey’s dogs will continue to
be pampered should they outlive the
media mogul. She has a $30 million
trust to care for her dogs and other
furry friends.

“Of all domestic
animals the cat is the
most expressive. His face
is capable of showing a
wide range of expressions.
His tail is a mirror of his
mind. His gracefulness is
surpassed only by
his agility. And, along
with all these, he has
a sense of humor.”

Girl Scouts aim for the gold and bronze. Girl Scout Troop
185 completed various projects to achieve their Bronze Award
including making brightly colored pet toys and gathering towels
and newspapers to donate to the shelter. One Girl Scout, with the
help of her father, built a cat entertainment center complete with
scratching post and feather wand for batting.
Off-leash is on in Hawaii Kai. The Hawaii Kai Dog Park will officially
open on June 29. Every day from dawn to dusk, dogs can romp free. The
