C3PO is a white and cream tabby whose timid nature is like the soft glow of dawn. He may take a moment to warm up, but patience reveals a heart as golden as his namesake. Once comfortable, he's a beacon of love, approaching with a purr engine in full gear, seeking your touch with affectionate rubs. His biscuit-making is a sign of pure contentment, and when he flops to his side, it's an open invitation to a world of trust and companionship. C3PO isn't just a cat; he's a journey to a friendship that shines ever so brightly.

More about this shelter
The Kauai Humane Society was established by the community in 1952 as a local non-profit 501(c)(3) organization to protect Kauai’s animals. We opened our current home just west of Lihue in 2001 thanks to the generous support of many individuals, families, businesses and foundations. We are an independent animal welfare organization and not a chapter of any mainland or Hawaii group.
The Kauai Humane Society(KHS) is the only physical animal shelter in Kauai County, Hawaii. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a government contract to allow KHS to provide services to Kauai County for humane field services for cats and dogs.
Our facility does not turn away any sick or injured cat or dog found on Kauai. We strive to not euthanize any healthy, adoptable, and/or treatable animals for space or treatable medical reasons.
In 2022, for the year overall, KHS achieved a Live Release Rate of 94.4%; meaning 94.4% of the animals that came into KHS during 2022 were released with a positive outcome of being adopted, returned to the owner, or transferred to a rescue group.
