www.alleycat.org 4 | ALLEY CAT ACTION, SUMMER 2026 Lieutenant Dan Seven-year-old Lieutenant Dan survived the historic flooding in Oahu but unfortunately suffered a laceration When Oahu was hit by Hawai'i’s worst flooding in 20 years, Alley Cat Allies’ Rapid Response Team hit the ground running to save cats’ lives. Our team spent days in action at all hours in Oahu’s hard-hit North Shore, providing food and water to flood-affected cats and their caregivers. And when cats were rescued from flood zones and needed emergency veterinary care, Alley Cat Allies worked closely with veterinarians to cover all costs of their treatment. Cindy cares deeply about all animals, but cats have held a special place in her heart since childhood. That lifelong commitment also inspired her to donate to Alley Cat Allies for eight years and counting! As a “mom” to three cats, like Daisy pictured right, Cindy doesn’t feel she “owns” them at all. Instead she says it’s more like they “own her,” and they let her know every day that she is “their human.” She loves that her cats make her laugh every single day with their special personalities. PROFILE IN GENEROSITY: CINDY As a TNR advocate, Cindy also says that every time she helps a cat, she is filled with joy knowing she isn’t only saving a life, but also ensuring that same cat won’t be having any more kittens. In her passion for protecting cats, Cindy knows it’s all about securing their safety into the future. That’s why she joined our Legacy Society by leaving Alley Cat Allies in her estate plans! “Like anyone who cares deeply about animals, I’d like to think I’m continuing to help after I’m gone. In addition, I believe strongly in the work that your organization does. It goes far beyond just rescuing homeless cats and kittens. I believe Alley Cat Allies really makes a difference.” Learn how you can give at alleycat.org/Donate.
