9 Ways to Support the Lanai Cat Sanctuary
Located on the peaceful island of Lanai, the Lanai Cat Sanctuary is home to over 800 rescue cats — lovingly referred to as “Lanai Lions.” This one-of-a-kind, open-air sanctuary provides lifelong care for its feline residents while also helping protect Hawaii’s native bird population. Whether you’re a cat lover, an animal advocate, or just want to make a difference in a small but impactful way, here are nine meaningful ways you can support this incredible place.
- Visit the Sanctuary
The sanctuary is open daily from 10 AM to 3 PM. Come by, spend time with the cats, and see firsthand the incredible work being done. While you’re there, consider donating, sponsoring a cat, or simply soaking in the love and purrs.
👉 Plan your visit
- Sponsor a Lanai Lion
For less than $1 a day, you can sponsor a cat and receive an adoption certificate and photo updates. Your contribution helps provide food, medical care, and love for a cat in need.
👉 Sponsor a cat here
- Rent a Piece of Purr-adise
For $495 a year, you can “rent” a cozy cat bungalow and have it named in honor of yourself or someone special. It’s a fun and unique way to support the sanctuary.
👉 Rent a bungalow
- Donate Through the Amazon Wishlist
Want to help provide treats, toys, and daily essentials? Purchase directly from the sanctuary’s Amazon Wishlist and know your gift is going straight to the cats.
👉 Shop the Wishlist
- Volunteer Your Time
Whether you live on Lanai or are visiting, your time and care can make a huge difference. Volunteers are always appreciated!
👉 Learn how to volunteer
- Leave a Legacy
Support the sanctuary for generations to come by including them in your will. Their partnership with FreeWill makes the process easy and secure.
👉 Create your legacy
- Donate Stock
Looking for a tax-smart way to give? Donating appreciated stock may reduce your capital gains tax and help fund the sanctuary’s mission.
👉 Make a stock donation
- Sponsor a Senior or Special Needs Cat
Senior and special needs cats deserve love too. When you sponsor one, you’ll get updates and photos—and the joy of knowing you’re making a real difference.
👉 Sponsor a special cat
- Join Fundraising Events
Participate in events like the annual Charity Walk that help raise funds for the sanctuary’s daily operations and future goals.

Every little bit helps. Whether you donate, volunteer, or simply spread the word, your support ensures that these cats continue to receive the care and love they deserve.
