Jim Nabors Raises Funds for The Hawaiian Humane Society

Share with fellow cat lovers!

Over the years he’s tickled our funny bones, and now actor Jim Nabors (The Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle: USMC) has touched our hearts by helping homeless cats and dogs in Hawaii.

A long time supporter of the Hawaiian Humane Society, the pop culture icon recently took on the role of co-chair of the animal welfare organization’s biggest annual fundraiser, Tuxes & Tails: Bow Wow to Hollywoof: A Night at the A-cat-emy.

A total of $670,000 was raised at the swank soiree, which took place at The Royal Hawaiian Hotel and included a surprise (or, as his famous TV alter ego Gomer Pyle would say, “Sur-prise! Sur-prise! Sur-prise!”) performance by the high-profile pal to those with paws, who entertained the evening’s attendees with a stirring rendition of “The Impossible Dream” (The Quest)” to mark the launch of The Hawaiian Humane Society’s $18 million capital campaign for the construction of a second life-saving facility.

Established in 1883, The Hawaiian Humane Society provides comfort and care for more than 25,000 companion animals each year.
