The Kitty Kahu

Kahu means the protectors. The guardians.
And that's exactly what we are.

Petco Helpers
We couldn't do what we do without our Petco Helpers! 
Each day someone from our organization goes to Petco in Hilo and checks on the kitties, cleans their space, and re-ups their food and litter. This is a great, valuable volunteer job that we couldn't do without!
