About Abandoned And Feral Cat Friends

Abandoned And Feral Cat Friends (branded as CatFriends) is an all‑volunteer, donor‑facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Honolulu that focuses on humane management of community cats on Oʻahu through high‑volume spay/neuter clinics, mass trapping, trap‑loan and caregiver education programs. The organization operates recurring free clinics (primarily at a Kunia clinic site), provides trap‑loan and mass‑trapping support and training for colony caretakers, and promotes fostering and adoption of friendly cats removed from colonies. In filings and public materials CatFriends reports sustained program growth and strong program‑expense efficiency in recent years, and has been tax‑exempt since 2002.
