Volunteer
WE NEED YOU!

It’s the Season of Giving… and one of the greatest gifts you can give is TIME.

HART is in real need of volunteers right now, and we could genuinely use your help. The health, comfort, and daily care of our cats and kittens depend entirely on the people who show up for them—and lately, we’re struggling to fill our shifts.  If you’ve ever thought about volunteering… this is your moment. Come see what HART is all about.

2-Hour Shifts Available — We’re looking for help in:

Office / Gift Shop
Be the friendly face visitors see when they walk in! Help answer phones, guide adopters toward their future feline soulmates, and ring up gift shop purchases. Your smile will genuinely make a difference.

Feeding & Scooping Team
Feeding time is pure joy—fresh water, topped-off kibble, tasty canned food, and a chorus of grateful meows. And yes, litterbox scooping is part of the gig… but our kittens love to “supervise,” climb your shoulder, play around your feet, and “help” with the digging.

You won’t be alone—we do our best to pair volunteers on every shift, so it’s twice the support and way more fun. Plus, there are free-roaming cats and kittens there to "help" with your tasks.

We need you, the cats need you, and even a couple of hours a week makes a huge difference.
Apply today and be part of something genuinely meaningful.

The Homeless Animal Rescue Team (HART) is based in the charming village of Cambria, located in San Luis Obispo (SLO) County along California’s stunning central coast.

Since its founding in 1983, HART has been a dedicated volunteer-run, no-kill, cage-free shelter, committed to rescuing and providing care for cats in need. Our mission is supported through active adoption programs, spay, neuter, and microchip initiatives, and a feral cat colony management program.

We rely on the hard work of passionate volunteers and the generosity of donors like you to continue our life-saving work.
Explore our website to learn more about HART, our adoptable cats and kittens, and ways you can get involved. You’ll find everything from our latest news to how you can help make a difference—all just a click away.

We invite you to visit and spend time with our wonderful cats. They’re always on the lookout for a cozy lap to call their own, and maybe—just maybe—it could be yours! Before you know it, you might find yourself adopted.
