Hermione came to RKH after surviving far too long on her own.

Hermoine had been wandering a neighborhood for months, showing up hungry, disappearing for stretches, and slowly declining. By the time Rescue Kitties of Hawaii stepped in to rescue her, she was in rough shape—very underweight, dirty, and struggling to eat. Despite everything she had endured, all she wanted was love.

Once they got her safe and seen by a veterinarian, they learned just how much she had been suffering.

Hermione is only 3 years old, but her body tells a much harder story. She is FIV+, and she has severe gingival stomatitis—a painful, chronic condition causing extreme inflammation and infection in her mouth. She is missing multiple teeth, likely has roots remaining, and has lesions along her gums. Eating is painful, and at times she avoids food and even water because of it.

On top of that, she is being treated for lungworms and parasites, adding another layer to her recovery. The only way to truly relieve her pain is a full dental procedure to remove her remaining diseased teeth. This will allow her to eat comfortably, regain weight, and finally start to heal.

Hermione is incredibly gentle and affectionate. She just wants a safe, quiet home and someone to love her. Because she is FIV+, she will need a peaceful environment with compatible cats or to be the only pet.

Right now, their focus is getting her out of pain, and they can't do it without you.

Dental surgery is costly, but it will completely change the course of her life. With proper care, FIV+ cats can live long, happy lives—and Hermione deserves that chance.

RKH rescued her so she wouldn’t have to suffer alone anymore. Now we’re asking for help to give her the life she’s been waiting for. She has a microchip, and they found her original owner. Hermoine got lost over 2 years ago, and her owner moved back to the mainland. RKH even offered to fly her back to her, but she said she no longer wants to own a cat.

Please help us let Hermione know that she is still loved and cared for and deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life. Thank you.
