Welcome to the Rusty MauiCat Collective

Our mission is to ensure that Maui is a compassionate leader in seeking solutions to solve the community cat population crisis in a humane and effective way. We contribute to the advocacy of, and care for, the community cats of Maui by providing volunteer colony caretakers who practice TNR (Trap Neuter Return) with food and other needed supplies. We also humanely trap community cats to be vaccinated, spayed or neutered and return them safely to their colonies.

You can help us in a number of ways, and you're off to a great start by caring enough about Maui's cats to visit us here. Mahalo!

We believe our community cats bring enjoyment to our island's visitors - if you agree, let your hotel or resort management staff know!

Rusty’s Facebook page has followers from all around the world. Join us to say Aloha and share stories about Rusty or any community cats you have enjoyed during your visit.

Read Rusty’s story and how it inspired the start of the Rusty MauiCat Collective.

Our Amazon WishList is full of items to benefit the community cats of Maui. Everything from food to medical supplies are passed on to Maui's volunteer cat colony caretakers.

Wow, 226 cats fixed already in 2025!

The Rusty MauiCat Collective has had 226 cats spayed or neutered and vaccinated as of April 20th of this year!
