Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I cannot stress just how sweet this little girl is. She was mostly kept in a dog crate while recuperating, but when we let her out she would just roll on her side or back and constantly knead. She is always kneading and purring. She is such a happy and relaxed cat. She would often come up and grab my hand to pull it down towards her if I wasn’t scratching her, because she wanted more scratches on her face, which was incredibly endearing. This poor little girl has been on medications for quite a while now, and she takes even the most bitter medication like a pro. She did fantastic during her bath (with a little Gabapentin, just in case, since I didn’t know how she would react). She is a very quiet and also a fairly lazy cat, not a hyper cat in any way.
Health Background:
Nemo was a feral cat in a colony in our neighborhood. She became critically ill with a respiratory virus, refused to eat, and lost a lot of weight in a very short time. We pulled her from the colony to get her some life-saving veterinary care. While recuperating from her respiratory virus, she developed an umbilical hernia from sneezing, so she had surgery to fix the hernia on 9/28/2024, along with a dental cleaning and some Clindoral on one of her teeth. Her respiratory panel was all negative, but she was put on Doxycycline anyway, just to see if that would help. She also had blood & urine labs done, and all of that is completely normal. We were going to just get Nemo some veterinary care and put her back out in the colony, but they are intentionally running over & poisoning the cats in our neighborhood, and also, she is so exceptionally sweet that we just can’t put her back out there knowing that she could easily go into a home. She would also be a target for the people wishing to do the cats harm, since she’s so sweet and trusting. No one at the vet’s office can believe that she was previously feral, because she’s the sweetest, happiest, most chill little girl. She is healthy now and is ready for her new home. As much as we love her and would love to keep her, we have 7 cats of our own with constant medical issues, behavioral issues, spraying, fighting, etc, and bringing another cat into the house would only exacerbate the stress and those other issues with our own cats.

Additional adoption info
If an individual is interested in a cat or kitten listed, they will complete the first three pages of the Cat People of Oahu (CPO) Adoption Application and submit to cpoadoptables@gmail.com. Please review the fourth page but do not complete it at this time.
A representative from CPO will forward the completed application to the cat's current foster parents. The foster parent will then be in contact with the prospective adopter to set up a time to meet the cat. If the foster parent opts to offer the cat to the interested party and the interested party decides to adopt, then the CPO Adoption Contract will be reviewed and signed by both parties and the adoption fee will be paid directly to the foster.
Please note that there may be a short waiting period between the meet and greet and a finalized adoption and that filling out an application and meeting a cat does not guarantee that you will be selected to adopt a specific cat.
Cats and kittens listed are in foster homes across the island. The location of a specific animal will be disclosed once you inquire, but please be prepared to possibly travel to meet your cat or kitten of interest.
Adoption fees range from $25-$100 per cat and are determined by the foster.

More about this rescue
Cat People of Oahu is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to help people help cats. We began as a Facebook group in September of 2017 and it is the largest community cat related group in the state of Hawaii. We provide information, education, and resources for individuals who own or care for pet, feral, and free-roaming cats.
We advocate for spay and neuter, rescuing, fostering, adoption and trap-neuter-return. We believe in providing a well-organized and well-maintained group for cat lovers and those new to the cat world - where they can post pictures and videos, ask for and receive reliable advice, advertise foster cats and kittens available for adoption, and much more.
Additionally, we provide opportunities to fundraise as a group for cats in need in order to cover things such as medications, feral/pet/foster cat sterilizations, and hospitalizations and surgeries for sick and injured cats.
We are always in need of monetary donations, in-kind donations, volunteers (fosters, trap-neuter-return, transportation), and people to spread our name far and wide so we can continue to help cats and kittens in need on Oahu.
