"All the cats are happy, like, you could tell," said Wendy Louie. "They are so friendly. And you could tell they enjoy being here."

Lanai is the least-visited of the publicly-accessible Hawaiian Islands. Overnight guests typically come stay at the fancy Four Seasons resort down on the coast. But tourists with a cat fancy have started flying over just to spend time at a rustic outdoor sanctuary known locally as the "Fur Seasons

I have a strong feeling for those adopted would do just fine as strictly indoor cats. It is nice to see something happy.

Her extra curricular activity was sea turtle tagging on Lanai (only in Hawaii!). She even got a honu (sea turtle) tattooed on her lower leg, which led to some wrinkling of noses when she was up for partner at her law firm. I'll have to ask her if she ever heard about the cat refuge. I don't recall her mentioning it, but maybe it wasn't there yet (she graduated her high school there in 2003).
