The first few days of my life were very hard. Someone
put me in a small box and left me in front of a store
in the hot Wailuku Sun. I was very lucky to be bottle
fed with my Siamese friends. I want to thank you for your
support, without it, many of us would not be alive today. |

My name is Kuuipo, which means Sweetheart in Hawaiian. I am a pueo, endangered Hawaiian owl. I was hit by a truck, so my legs don't work. I love people to hold me, talk to me, and I am very loving back. I am especially thankful to Lynn, a wonderful volunteer here, for her undying love and care for me. |

Hello There! We are two Siamese kittens that were found
in a drainage pipe in Wailuku when we were only a few
days old. A very nice person rescued us and brought us
to EMAR to be cared for. We know our mom would be happy
with the care and love we have received growing up here
without her. We were bottle fed for six weeks, given much
needed medication and had some friends our age to play
with. |

Dutchess was found on the side of the road on Molokai,
after being hit by a car. A kind supporter paid for her
to have a surgical rod placed in her back, and a company
donated a wheelchair so that she is able to run around
again and have fun. One of the kind volunteers at the
Boo Boo Zoo adopted her as well as another dog that was
in a wheelchair. They now live a very fun filled life
thanks to the kindness they received at EMAR. |

Louise was just a baby when she came running out of
the woods alone up to a man at the heliport. She wouldn't
have survived on her own. |
 |
This kitten was brought to EMAR when it was just a few
days old, nurtured and cared for, spayed and then adopted
out to a loving home. |
 |
The deer's name is "Yes Deer." She came to EMAR as a
result of capture myopathy, where an animal is paralyzed
as a result of extreme stress. She was captured and tied
to a tree while hunters gutted her mother in front of
her. She now lives with Sylvan & Suzie in their house,
a very safe place for a deer in her condition. There are
gentle kittens that give her love like this one, Flojo,
who was brought when she was orphaned at a few days old. |

Doogie, a 90% blind young miniature horse, doesn’t know
that he’s not a dog. Doogie cavorts and plays with Bo,
a gentle and loving dog who is his constant companion.
When loud and frantic squeals and protests erupt from
the pig pen next to the old aviary, you know that Doogie
is prodding and pushing a very fat pot-bellied pig. He
eagerly accepts carrots and pieces of apple from your
hand. |
 |
Boots is a friendly, action-loving dog who was hit by
a car when very young. His owners didn’t want to spend
the money to fix his hip. The Zoo vet fixed Boots, then
asked Sylvan if he would give Boots a foster home while
he recuperated. Boots now lives at the Zoo permanently. |
 |
Sunshine is a breast-feather-picking cockatoo with a
large and unusual vocabulary. He became very upset when
several large dogs invaded the Zoo, chasing and killing
animals in the yard. (This is now impossible because of
increased security measures.) Sunshine hangs around anyone
who visits or volunteers at the Zoo, looking for attention
and an almond. |
 |
Scarlet is a beautiful scarlet macaw with an extensive
vocabulary. She is very loud, saying “Hello” repeatedly
so that you will give her almonds. She is physically flawless,
but her owners had to bring her to the Zoo because she
was too loud for their environment. |
 |
We are Pueos, a native Hawaiian owl that is endangered
everywhere but on Maui. Maui has been an incredible success
story for our species due to the unbelievable hard work
and care that we recieve. We were both hit by cars and
our wings were so severely shattered that reconstructive
surgery was not an option and partial amputation was necessary.
Even though we will never be able to fly again, we will
live happy lives in the aviary being entertained by the
hundreds of other birds chaotically flying around. |
