In February 2009, there were upwards of 80 cats living around the Costco in Kahului, Hawaii, on the island of Maui. A kind-hearted animal activist stepped in and offered to humanely trap, spay/neuter, vaccinate, return the cats, and continue feeding and monitoring them. Costco agreed. Costco has since started starving the cats. We must stop this!

There are now just 15 cats living around the Maui Costco thanks to the success of trap-neuter-release. All the remaining cats are spayed/neutered and were being cared for by Costco employees until late October, when Costco's corporate office ordered a feeding ban and threatened to fire employees who fed the cats. Costco employees are in a horrible position. They're being forced to choose between their jobs and the cats they love. Worst of all, cats who are dependent on daily feedings are being left to starve.

Costco has community cat colonies located at many of its stores around the US. The company has even promoted trap-neuter-return programs, like the very successful one it is so cruelly trying to end at its Maui store. This pro-cat article appeared in the Costco Connection magazine in 2013.

The community cats of Costco Maui are now in danger of starving to death. Hundreds of other community cats living in managed community cat colonies at Costco stores around the US could be next to have their lifelines severed. The cats are in urgent need of food. Act now to save the Costco cats!
