About LUCKY PAWS ANIMAL FOUNDATION

Lucky Paws Animal Foundation (also operating as Lucky Paws Hawaii) is an all‑volunteer 501(c)(3) cat rescue founded in 2020 in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. The organization focuses on rescue, medical rehabilitation, spay/neuter (TNRM) and rehoming services for cats across Oʻahu and emphasizes transparency and community‑based population management. The EIN 85-2383853 has been confirmed to belong to this organization through public IRS/filing records and nonprofit data sources; Lucky Paws maintains a public web presence and active adoption/foster operations.

Since its founding, Lucky Paws reports thousands of cats served through rescue, medical care, and placement; the group also works with local partners and grantmakers and lists regular participation on adoption platforms and community events to place cats into permanent homes.
