Welcome to the Animal CARE Foundation
ACF’s East Honolulu Intervention Center
The Animal CARE Foundation of Hawaiʻi is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization promoting animal rights and supporting animal rescue on Oʻahu and its neighbor islands. In addition, the foundation provides veterinary care and services to a limited number of outside clients. All revenues from our East Honolulu Intervention Center are used to help animals in need and at risk.
The Animal CARE Foundation Promotes
- the humane trapping/neutering/return of outdoor dogs and cats
- low or no cost neutering of animals for families, as well as for other rescue organizations across the island
- medical support of feral cat caretakers
- abandonment prevention assistance for families in need
- public education on the effectiveness of trap/neuter/return and the importance of spaying and neutering family animals, and
- lobbying for a statewide no-kill animal shelter program.
It is our sincere hope that, through education and advocacy, humans will learn to stop treating animals as commodities and start treating them as emotional beings equal to ourselves. Only then we will truly conquer the disposable animal problem. ACF’s facilities and programs exist to serve that goal, and depend largely upon the support of private donors and volunteers.
You can visit our Petfinder.com shelter profile (opens in a new window) or Facebook (new window) for more information and for pictures of our adoptable cats and dogs.
