Help Paquito Get Healthy and Adoptable

Aloha from the Big Island!

I am a preschool teacher who can't seem to stop rescuing cats! Paquito has been living by the dumpster at an apartment complex in Kailua-Kona where I live. I recently scooped him up because I couldn’t watch such a little kitten suffer outside anymore with his obvious illness. It turns out Paquito is sweet, very rumbly and loves to be held - a great candidate for adoption!

Any funds donated will be spent getting him an initial checkup, treating his obvious parasites and upper respiratory infection, addressing any other concerns the vet may find. Once he’s healthy, Paquito can get neutered and vaccinated too. After that, he should be adoptable!

As much as I welcome donations to help change this kitten's life, I genuinely hope you will feel no obligation. However, if you would, just share this page with anyone you know who may be interested or able to help. If Mangione can do it, Paquito can too!

If you or someone you know would like to adopt this sweet boy or another Big Island kitty, reach out to me! Thank you for helping Paquito have a very different life than the one he would living by the dumpster, and for showing kindness to tiny creatures.

Have a beautiful day!
