Tiny Kitten with Big Spirit: Help Mahalo Heal

Mahalo was found by a kind family wandering down Mahalo Street on Molokai, just 3/4 of a pound and in rough shape. She was covered in fleas, severely dehydrated, and struggling with flea anemia. Her temperature was dangerously low, her gums pale, and her tiny body was weak, but even through it all, she showed a little spark of life.

Once in care, she was gently warmed and given fluids to help stabilize her. Though too tired to eat at first, she slowly began to swallow small amounts of Nutrical and baby food. Her eye, which had ruptured before she was found, eventually detached on its own. Pain medication helped keep her comfortable, and she’s now resting on a heating pad, with her breathing monitored closely.

Mahalo is being given round-the-clock support and everything she needs to stay comfortable and keep fighting. There’s no vet on island, and she is too small to fly just yet, so her care team is doing everything they can to support her from home with careful hydration, nutrition, and pain management. It’s still early, but her tiny steps forward give hope that she’s not ready to give up.

She may be small, but she’s already shown how strong she is. With time, care, and love, Mahalo has a real chance at healing. Donations will help cover her supplies, follow-up care, and eventual flight to Oʻahu for further treatment once she’s strong enough. Thank you.

Update 07/25 Little Mahalo is doing great in her foster home filled with so much love! She is slowly but surely gaining weight and strength as she prepares to fly to Oahu for her eye removal. Thank you for your continued support!
