Storytime: A stray orange cat followed my kids home one day. It was limping, dirty, and skinny. The cat was so sweet I was able to bath her, trim her nails and clean her ears but she kept trying to lead me somewhere (like she was lost) she would stop by a car and assume I knew the way.. I didn’t. I felt do bad for her and I knew she was once owned because of her sweet demeanor. Long story short.- one week and a half later I tried to take her to the vet only to be told that tipped eared cats are microchipped and they cant touch her or help her.. only the caretaker or owner can. They suggested the Humane Society. Normally Im not for sending strays to the humane society because they belong to colonies but this cat did not fit that description at all. She was searching for someone. When I got to the humane society they explained the 5 day process and what happens afterwards if the pet is healthy or not. I called and left a message that if owner didn’t get her Id take her. That Sweet cat didn’t have to stay 24 hours there. I was on the website watching her status like a hawk and her picture disappeared by 3ish the next day. I am So happy the Owner found her cat The cat was Searching for something.. this made me cry. Thank you for reuniting this lost cat to its loved one. She is an Amazing sweet feline. Scruffy looking but best soul ever. Such an amazing ending. Thank you Humane Society for reuniting the pet and its owner. (Ewa Beach) location.

Adopted a cat here for my dad. Came on a Friday at an hour after opening. Parking was pretty full, but got lucky parking on the side street lot. Checked out the cat house: worker girl communicated well and was friendly enough. We took awhile visiting all of the cats and putting them through our stringent interview process. About 1.5 hours later, we decided and “checked in” via the QR code. From that moment, I think we waited almost 2 hours as the staff helped a queue of people in front of us. Only reason I remember this is because I was under the impression that adopting wouldn’t take long, and I thought I’d be able to squeeze in 9 holes in a Friday afternoon. I think part of the problem is that the the staff is not making proper use of the QR system and website. It’s either that, or it’s the 3rd party website problem, but I N don’t think so. The system is similar to the one Genki Sushi uses where you check in your party via website, then you are given your place, and how many people are in front of you. At the HHS, when we checked in, the site said there were 3 people in front of us. As the 2 hours ticked by, we continually checked our place and the 3 never changed. Now why is this an issue? The site gives a good indication of how long the wait will be. No one likes waiting, but they’ll be less upset if you give them an idea of how long you need to wait. HHS actually makes it worse by having you check in, then give you false info via the website. 4-stars for the staffs love of animals. Yeah they might not be the most efficient and getting new pet owners out the door, but you can tell that they genuinely care about the animals. I would definitely come back to adopt another pet, I just know to block off my entire day. I give props to these workers: you can tell they love animals. Everyone from the ladies

Honolulu location: Facility was clean. Animals seemed well cared for. Many volunteers walking dogs. However, employees behind the counter lack personality, customer service, or motivation. Felt like I was speaking to zombies. Update: Went to the Ewa location. Wow! Really nice set up! Employees were happy, energetic, and informative! Adopted our new baby!!

I've almost had my dog a year now. I love her to death. She is so sweet and was easy to potty train.

We adopted a dog here and it was a great experience!! The staff were so kind and helpful, and we could tell the animals were all loved and well cared for. If anyone who works there is reading this, Guava (Julia) says hi and she is having lots of fun with her loving new family! ❤️

It's probably the best place on Earth🌎 Visit fur friends and adopt your next family member today :) They helped me on multiple occasions with multiple pets, including a compassionate euthanasia of my 17-year-old pup, whom I had since childhood. They offer the best prices for humane euthanasias, and the lowest adoption fees on the island.
