Effie is a gorgeous 2-year-old grey tabby with soft white accents and an even softer heart. She’s been with us for over 100 days, which means her adoption is fully sponsored for any on-island adopter. When you stop by her kennel, Effie is the first to greet you with curious eyes and a gentle Aloha. Step inside, though, and she’ll quietly retreat to her safe spot — she’s a sweet soul who just needs a little time to warm up. Once she knows you, her affectionate and trusting nature begins to shine. Effie gets along wonderfully with other cats and currently shares her kennel with several feline friends. She’d thrive in a calm, patient home — perhaps with a single person or an adult couple — where she can bond at her own pace without too much hustle and bustle. A home with other cats would be a bonus, as they help her feel confident and secure. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who will blossom with love and time, Effie may be your perfect match. Come meet this shy sweetheart and give her the chance she’s been waiting for.

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.
