First steps if you lose your cat in Honolulu

  1. 1

    Search the immediate area very thoroughly first — a frightened cat usually hides silently within a few houses, not far away.

    Tip from locals

    Search Kakaako Waterfront Park, about 0.9 miles away, and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, roughly 0.7 miles, before moving on to Sand Island State Recreation Area, about 0.8 miles.

  2. 2

    Go out again after dark with a torch: cats move once it is quiet, and their eyes reflect the light under cars, sheds and hedges.

    Tip from locals

    After dark, check the banks of Pauoa Stream and Waolani Stream, about 0.5 and 0.8 miles away, where the waterside growth can hide a cat.

  3. 3

    Ask neighbours to open garages, sheds and cellars — cats slip inside unnoticed and get shut in.

    Tip from locals

    Busy roads like South King Street and I H1 can keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbors on your side of them first.

  4. 4

    Ask neighbours to check enclosed spaces again and share a recent photo with the last-seen place and time.

    Tip from locals

    Share the photo with Chinatown, about 0.4 miles north-west, Kuakini, roughly 1 mile north, and Mayor Wright Housing, also about 1 mile north.

  5. 5

    Report her to the shelter, nearby vets and the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.

    Tip from locals

    There are 8 vets within about 3 miles, so report the cat to them and the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert.

Frequently asked questions

How does PawAlarm help if my cat goes missing in Honolulu?

PawAlarm turns your missing-pet report into a search alert on Facebook and Instagram. It is shown to the people who live and get around near the spot where your cat was last seen – within 1 mi of Honolulu, that's about 58,000 people. The alert goes live within 60 minutes. Anyone who spots your cat reports the sighting on your search page, and you get it by email straight away.

My indoor cat escaped. Where should I look first?

Check your home and the area around the escape point carefully. Look under cover and ask the people next door to check inside sheds and garages. A frightened cat may stay hidden without answering your calls.

How to Find an Indoor Cat That Got Outside
How much does an alert cost in Honolulu?

Alerts in Honolulu start from $49. The price follows how far your alert reaches around the last-seen spot in Honolulu: 1 mi reaches about 58,000 people for $88, 1.8 mi reaches about 120,000 people for $300, and 3 mi reaches about 240,000 people for $790. You see the exact price before you pay, and there is no subscription.

Can I use PawAlarm in Honolulu for free?

Yes. A printable search poster with a QR code, your own search page where finders report sightings, sightings straight to your inbox and a personal dashboard with search tips are all free.

Is there another animal shelter near Honolulu?

For Honolulu, we list Oahu SPCA. Address: 823 Olive Ave, Wahiawa, HI 96786. Phone: (808) 754-1519. Call before you go and ask about animals brought in recently.

Do dogs and cats in Honolulu need a microchip instead of a license?

Yes. Since 2020 the City and County of Honolulu has replaced dog licensing with a rule that all pet dogs 3 months and older and cats 4 months and older must have microchip identification. Hawaiian Humane Society microchips pets for $20, with walk-ins at its Moiliili campus, and the owner must register the chip with the manufacturer or a free database.

Does my cat need a collar and tag in Honolulu?

If the cat is six months or older and allowed outdoors, yes: Hawaiian Humane says the law requires a collar with an identification tag. Honolulu's Chapter 12 also requires sterilization for pet cats allowed outdoors and reporting of found cats to animal control.
