How do I check a found animal for a microchip?
Animals can be checked for a chip at any vet's office for no charge.
There is also a scanner at the Hilo Petco - just ask.
Post on your neighbor's social media pages and ask if anyone near by has a scanner. You'd be suprised the number of helpers!
Still can't find a chip reader? Message us and we can see if a volunteer is nearby.
​
More info about microchips can be found HERE.
What's the easiest, fastest, cheapest way to get my pet fixed?
Take a look at our Spay/Neuter resources page! It has lots of answers.
Who offers humane euthanasia services?
While most vets offer this service, it is often cost prohibitive.
Hawaii Island Humane Society offers humane euthanasia for owned pets. This is not the animal you find on the side of the road - this is your own pet. Contact them for info.
​
Aloha Animal Alliance offers this service as in-home care on the west (Kona) side of the island.
Reservations Required.
​
Hawaii County Animal Control & Protection does accept sick and injured animals who are both owner surrenders and strays.

Do you or anyone you know offer cat trapping or TNR services?
At this time we are unaware of anyone on island offering these types of services.
If YOU would like to trap, several places can loan for a small deposit fee. Most will require a confirmed spay/neuter appointment.
