As the founder of Lucky Paws Animal Foundation, he spends his days rescuing and rehabilitating the island\u2019s feral cats. Not a physically, emotionally or financially easy task, but it also results in regular kitty snuggles, soothing purrs and rubs of affection, so it\u2019s more than worth it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know there\u2019s no money in animal rescue and adoptions,\u201d says Thompson, citing the high cost of vet care, medications, shelter and food. \u201cWe focus on the sick, injured and most at-risk, which is even more expensive.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>Lucky Paws\u2019 three-pronged approach \u2014 rescues, adoptions, resort \u2014 ensures that it can continue its good work. Profits from its resort fill the monetary gaps government subsidies and grants leave behind. Under the motto \u201cevery stay saves a stray,\u201d more boarders means more money being funneled into saving cats from the streets and finding them forever homes. <\/p>\n<p>Plus, it\u2019s not all bad booking a stay at the Lucky Paws resort. For families undergoing home termite tenting treatments, heading off to vacations, or even those wanting more socialization and companionship for their feline friends while at work, having their cats stay at Lucky Paws is a great option. Owners can check on their cats via a webcam located in each resort suite, which is decked out with custom lighting that mimics the rising and falling of the sun, videos of wildlife, cozy beds and more. <\/p>\n<p>While cats doze in their personal chambers inside Lucky Paws on South King Street, Thompson and a cadre of volunteers are out on the streets engaging in TNRM (trap, neuter, release, manage) efforts. It\u2019s a step up from the traditional TNR method and adds the management aspect to prevent a resurgence in overpopulation and breeding.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2340\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2340\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekhawaii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/luckypaws1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"496\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekhawaii\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/luckypaws1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekhawaii\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/luckypaws1.jpg?resize=450,279 450w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekhawaii\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/luckypaws1.jpg?resize=768,476 768w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekhawaii\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/luckypaws1.jpg?resize=335,208 335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2340\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Lawrence Tabudlo<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe aren\u2019t trying to eradicate cats by poisoning or euthanasia,\u201d he says. \u201cScience has shown those efforts just don\u2019t work because cats will quickly breed to repopulate a void. A lot of people want action now, they want the cats removed immediately, but it creates a vacuum effect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know anyone that hasn\u2019t been affected by the cat population on the island,\u201d Thompson adds. \u201cCats walk on top of cars, poop where they\u2019re not supposed to, and we\u2019re trying to address what we can.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where TNRM comes into play. Granted, it\u2019s a more time-consuming process, but Thompson assures that it\u2019ll result in longer-lasting effects. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s difficult to do TNRM in Hawai\u2018i effectively because of lack of resources, funding and not enough veterinarians,\u201d Thompson admits. \u201cIt\u2019s a compounding problem, but this is the most humane and effective way to mitigate the cat overpopulation crisis. We try to get to as many as we can, but I literally get 10 calls every other day asking for TNRM help.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He offers a revealing example: Spay\/neuter services run anywhere from $200 to $400, and Lucky Paws\u2019 current funding only offers $45 of payback. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot that goes into TNRM, but first we need funding,\u201d says Thompson, who works with nonprofits like Aloha Kitty TNR and KAT Charities to do as many TNRMs on their own dime as possible. \u201cOnce we get that, then we can really give TNRM an honest go.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Cats who have been spayed or neutered have that tell-tale notch on their ears: left ear for males, and right ear for females \u2014 \u201cBecause girls are always right,\u201d Thompson jokes. <\/p>\n<p>Sterilization can result in sweeter, friendlier cats, who are less prone to getting cancer. Males who get fixed are less likely to chase females or start fights by roaming into new territories \u2014 many are likely familiar with those resulting late-night yowlings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFixing does away with a lot of those nuisance behaviors,\u201d Thompson adds. \u201cGetting cats fixed will help the colony get along better.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Lucky Paws also gets help from those in the community who take it upon themselves to care for feral cat colonies. Thompson calls them \u201ccompassionate feeders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey feed the cats at the same time in the same place; they take inventory of what cats are new, which ones are hurt, which one is diseased, they take them in,\u201d he notes. <\/p>\n<p>These cats trust compassionate feeders, which makes it easy to conduct TNRM and control colonies. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese compassionate feeders help manage the colony,\u201d Thompson explains. \u201cWe work with different feeders, some of whom are homeless themselves, and they spend all their money on cat food, not on housing or their own personal needs. They\u2019re so important and compassionate; it\u2019s a beautiful thing. They get a lot of hate, but we work with them and encourage them to partner with us.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Thompson is a compassionate soul in his own right, too. Before COVID-19, he and his wife, Jessica, would foster cats for organizations like Poi Dogs &#038; P\u014dpoki and KAT Charities. At one point, the couple housed 70 cats spread out over three of their Waik\u012bk\u012b rental units, which remained empty during the pandemic. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe realized that there was this compelling need to help the voiceless and suffering animals we saw every single day,\u201d says Thompson. \u201cWe saw how difficult it was to get these critters adopted out, so we tried to adopt them all out by ourselves from our home and we were having good luck there.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The Thompsons were able to adopt out hundreds of cats on their own every year, which led them to make things official by launching Lucky Paws in 2020, along with Thompson\u2019s friend, Aron Garcia. In September 2022, Lucky Paws opened its current standalone location, adjacent to Hawaiian Humane Society, to continue its TNRM work and adoption efforts. <\/p>\n<p>TNRM remains Lucky Paws\u2019 main mission because the nonprofit sources its adoptable cats from feral populations. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe try to get our cats from outdoors, not people surrendering them,\u201d Thompson notes. <\/p>\n<p>Because Hawai\u2018i has limited funding, resources and space, Lucky Paws has also partnered with rescues in Seattle and San Diego to help local cats find their forever homes on the mainland. In Seattle\u2019s greater metro area alone, there are millions more people than in the entire state of Hawai\u2018i.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we can\u2019t get adoptions to take place here, we can\u2019t rescue the next cat,\u201d Thompson explains, adding that national adoption partnerships are of paramount importance to a small nonprofit like Lucky Paws.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Lucky Paws recently signed an agreement to place adoptable cats in PetSmart locations and continues to maintain its relationship with North Shore Animal League America, the world\u2019s largest no-kill animal rescue. <\/p>\n<p>Adoption is arguably the most heartwarming aspect of Lucky Paws\u2019 mission. The joy of seeing a family find their perfect feline companion is bar none, and knowing these once-vagrant cats have regular food, shelter and love reminds Thompson why he does what he does. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMyself, my wife and my best friend, Aron, we\u2019ve all been in this cat thing for a while,\u201d Thompson notes. \u201cWe all have a really big passion and want to help as many cats as we could. We believed really early on that we had a calling to do this.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><em>Lucky Paws Animal Foundation is always looking for foster families and volunteers to aid the cause.
