FAQs
What is 4Ever Pets?
4EverPets is a community resource to assist families and individuals of Maui, that are low-income or experiencing financial hardship, who need help feeding their beloved pets. Our goal is to help provide the resources needed in order to prevent people from having to surrender their pets to the shelter and allow their animal companions to remain in a loving home.
Is 4EverPets just a food program?
Absolutely not! We want to assist as much as possible to help keep your pets at home with you. If you need help, please feel free to email, call, or text if you need assistance with food or other things. This includes help with dishes, flea meds, leashes, collars, licenses for spayed and neutered animals, beds, behavior issues, etc. While we cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide specific things, we will always do our best to assist.
We have also provided many leashes, collars, harnesses, beds, etc., to people who are experiencing homelessness or financial hardship and could not provide these items for their pets. Our ability to assist an animal is determined on a case-by-case basis, and our primary goal is to defer intake and prevent animals from being surrendered, but we will do our best to assist anyone who needs help. If you have a question about whether or not we might be able to assist you with a particular issue, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We will do what we can and try to find creative ways to help everyone to the best of our ability.

Is my pet required to be spayed or neutered to enroll in the program?
Yes. This is a requirement of the grant we’ve received in order to run this amazing program, in an effort to manage pet overpopulation on our island and promote the health and behavior benefits of fixed pets.
Can I make a donation?
