Pearl City households face a ten dog or ten cat cap under ROH 7-2.5, with state animal hoarding charges under HRS 711-1109.6 when more than fifteen dogs or cats combined live in poor conditions.
Animal hoarding in Pearl City is prosecuted under state penal code HRS 711-1109.6, a misdemeanor applying when a person possesses more than fifteen dogs or cats combined while failing to provide necessary sustenance and failing to correct poor living conditions. Honolulu County also imposes per-household caps at ROH 7-2.5, treating ten or more dogs or ten or more cats per household as an Animal Nuisance trigger even without hoarding conditions. Animal cruelty and neglect more broadly fall under HRS 711-1109. Pearl City's dense R-5 neighborhoods and multi-generational households often hit the county threshold first.
Hoarding convictions carry misdemeanor penalties, forfeiture of animals, and restitution for care costs. County nuisance violations bring abatement orders, fines, and impoundment.
