A memorial gift to the Maui Humane Society is a personal remembrance that honors the life of a beloved pet who has passed. You can choose to donate any amount in the memory of your pet, and we will honor you both in our quarterly newsletter, Cause4Paws. You can also choose to memorialize your pet by sponsoring a kennel at the Maui Humane Society in their honor. For more information on kennel sponsorship, visit the ’Ways to Give’ section of our website at www.MauiHumaneSociety.org.

Take care of yourself by making sure you get
the rest and nutrition you need, even when
you feel distracted. Your concentration may
be impaired, so take extra caution when
driving or crossing the street.
Recognize and accept that though the bond
between you and your pet is as valuable as
any of your human relationships, your loss
may not be recognized or appreciated by
other people.
Find a support group by speaking with your
veterinary professionals, groomer or other
pet owners. The Association for Pet Loss and
Bereavement website (www.aplb.org) also
has daily pet loss chat room support groups.
Create a special place in your home to which
you can go when you want to remember your pet. Although remembering may be painful at first, eventually that pain will turn into sweet memories.
When It’s Time To Say Goodbye…
Providing Love. Preventing Cruelty.
Animals provide companionship, acceptance,
emotional support and unconditional love. If you
understand and accept this bond between humans
and animals, you’ve already taken the first step
toward coping with pet loss: knowing that it is okay
to grieve when a pet dies.
People love their pets and consider them members
of their family. You may have celebrated your pets’
birthdays, or carried pictures of them in your wallet.
So when your beloved pet dies, it’s not unusual to
feel overwhelmed by the intensity of your sorrow.
Understanding how you grieve and finding ways to
cope with your loss can bring you closer to the day
when memories bring smiles, instead of tears.
Each individual who handles your pet’s aftercare at
the Maui Humane Society is an animal lover who
understands and empathizes with the pain of losing a
beloved pet. You can rest easy knowing that your pet
will be treated with the respect and loving care that
befits a best friend—every step of the way, we at
Maui Humane Society are here to help.
Maui Humane Society provides caring and
considerate pet cremation service to all veterinary
clinics and pet owners on the island of Maui. Our
compassionate staff strives to give your pet’s
remains the same dignified and respectful aftercare
that we would want for our own beloved pets.
Currently, we are the only facility permitted to
provide this service to our community.
We provide the option of private cremation service
for families who wish to keep the remains of their
pet. Your pet will receive a separate cremation with
their remains carefully packaged and returned to
you in a standard temporary urn. The average wait
period for private cremation is between 2-3 weeks.
In the case of communal cremation, several animals
are cremated at the same time, saving energy and
resources. Pet ashes are not returned to the owner.
Cat Colony caretakers who wish to cremate a colony
cat who has passed can do so at a discounted rate of
$25 per cat (communal cremation).
The cost of cremation depends on the weight of your
pet and whether you choose a private or communal
cremation. Cremation fees are available under the
‘Services and Programs’ section of our website at
www.MauiHumane Society.org
Everybody grieves differently when they experience
the loss of a pet. Seniors, families with small
children, and even surviving family pets will need
help dealing with the loss in their lives in a healthy,
balanced way.
Find more resources for how to best cope with the
loss of your pet under ‘Services and Programs’ on
our website at www.MauiHumaneSociety.org.
You’ll know when the time is right to adopt a new
pet after giving yourself time to grieve, carefully
considering the responsibilities of pet ownership,
and paying close attention to your feelings. Rushing
into this decision before you’re ready isn’t fair to you
or your new pet. Each animal has their own unique
personality and a new animal will not replace the
one you lost. When you’re ready, remember that
Maui Humane Society is the perfect place to find
your next special friend.
