PLEASE HELP!
Maui’s
homeless cats need your
help!
Bio-Beetle sponsors a rescue
operation / TNR colony of around 80 homeless cats
on Maui.
Basically we get the cats fixed, then take care of
them, feed them, and make sure they are safe and
healthy...
Renting a car from us will
help, but if you can help monetarily, it would be
greatly appreciated!
2010 has been absolutely awful for us..
The end of March we lost one of our favorite,
sweetest cats to a dog attack... We all thought it
was a random attack, since we never see dogs
around... but then we started missing more cats..
then we found several more bodies mutilated by
dogs.... Cats that depended on us to keep them
safe. Most of these cats were friendly loving cats
who would spend most of their time in our office,
next to us, or lounging on our steps...
We heard from someone that they did see a couple
dogs in the area a few times.... and sure enough,
two feral dogs had moved into our area, and
although they had plenty to eat, with all our
feeding stations, these dogs attacked anything that
moved just for the "fun" of killing!
We have lost between 20 and 30 cats! Our friends!
It has been devastating! You can't imagine how
horrifying it is to lose so many friends like
this.
After finding out there were dogs in the area, we
got a dog trap and have been trying to catch them
ever since, to no avail. We also grabbed as many of
the friendliest cats that we could and moved them
inside our office. We also took four more to a room
in our apartment, which at the time, had 12
already. And we took four more to some land we
purchased and have them in a cage...
During this time we found
four more small kittens that most likely lost their
mom to these dogs, so we took them inside our
office too...
It is now the middle of
August, and we haven't seen the dogs in almost a
month. We are SO hoping this is over. We are
letting the cats from inside the office out again,
keeping our fingers crossed, but it's always in the
back of your mind... that we will come into work
and find these guys dead too,..
We bought several acres of
land in Haiku with the plan to create a no kill cat
sanctuary some day. A place for feral cats, and
those deemed "unadoptable" that otherwise would be
killed. We were thinking we could do this down the
road sometime, but given the current circumstances,
we need to move quickly and fence in an area asap.
If you can help us, donate money or materials, it
would be greatly appreciated.
Other issues / vet bills we
have had recently ... the kittens have upper
respiratory illnesses... Recently we had a cat in
care recovering from a hematoma surgery, and one in
isolation with a contagious skin disease…
which we had to build a cage for, plus another with
a thousand dollar vet bill from one cat we found
near death on the side of the road ... other
kittens rescued from abuse...
Besides the regular bills for
things like flea meds and food…
Visit our colony
website for more info on the colony, It isn't up to
