Good Cat Network’s Maui Wildfire Disaster Response Recap

September 1, 2023

Aloha, It’s been an emotional and adrenaline-filled three weeks, and the damage and loss from the Maui wildfire disasters that struck Kula and Lāhainā on August 8th and 9th is far from over. Rescue recovery efforts are still in full force. We are all in a deep state of mourning for the loss both known and unknown. We are collectively holding our breath as other crises emerge: displaced families, contaminated water, toxic environments, an economic crash and many animals still desperately needing help.

We have to admit – June was a wild month. Nearly everyone in the rescue community, including us, happened to be dealing with the most challenging projects, life obstacles and the unfortunate loss of both pets and foster cats.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on some GOOD news from June First up: Good Cat Network has a new Seattle-based rescue partner: The NOAH Center!

On April 25, 2023, Katie’s Operation Aloha Cat flight took off! It was comprised of 14 Lucky cats who travelled to PAWS via our airline partner Aloha Air Cargo. Eight of the 14 cats were black cats, just like Katie. The flight was sponsored and named by Gary and Sara, longtime supporters of Good Cat Network and the subject of our last Donor Spotlight.

Good Cat Network Donor Spotlight – Gary & Sara

May 2, 2023

Gary and Sara are longtime supporters of many animal welfare groups on Maui and beyond. Not only have they donated financially to Good Cat Network, but Gary has donated quite a bit of his time by means of fostering, transport and special rescue missions. They truly make a great pair: Sara keeps her finger on the pulse of the cat community through her connections and participation in Facebook groups like Maui Cat Coalition, while Gary has exactly zero social media accounts! Through Sara, Gary knows who to help and when, and then spends his leisure time socializing and caring for
