HART is in Urgent Need of Foster Homes

Can you give these sweet boys what they desperately need?

Looking for a foster for sweet boy einstein.

Do you have room in your heart and home for a boy who desperately needs your love? Please read Einstein's story: For 16 years, Einstein lived his whole life with his human best friend. When his beloved person needed medical care, Einstein was left behind in the home. For over three months, he waited there—lonely and waiting faithfully for his human to return, receiving only very brief daily visits from caregivers. When it became clear his person needed long term care, a kind person helped Einstein find his way to HART, where we are now trying to make sure his final chapter is filled with love.
Einstein’s health is declining, and he may not have much time left. What he needs most is a hospice foster home where he can spend his remaining days—no matter how many there may be—surrounded by warmth, comfort, and the affection he’s been desperately craving. If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet boy who wants nothing more than love, please reach out to HART at (805) 927-7377 and ask about Einstein.

Do you have room in your heart & home to help Salem find his way again?
Salem is a stunning five-year-old sweetie who recently lost the only home and people he’s ever known. After being abandoned by his previous person, he arrived at the shelter overwhelmed and heartbroken. Right now, Salem is completely shut down—huddled quietly in his cubby and refusing to eat. The abrupt change and busy shelter environment is simply too much for this sensitive boy.
What Salem desperately needs is a quiet socialization foster home where he can feel safe enough to begin healing. In the calm of a loving home, with love, patience and gentle kindness, we believe the affectionate, devoted cat he once was will slowly start to shine through again. Salem gave his whole heart to his person once before—he just needs someone to help him believe he can trust again.
Please reach out to HART at (805) 927-7377 or email: warmhearts@slohart.org and ask about Salem.

HART URGENTLY NEEDS FOSTER FAMILIES!

Kitten season is in full swing, and we’re receiving requests daily to rescue homeless kittens. With more foster homes, we can save even more lives! You don’t need a big space—a small room is perfect for most kittens as they grow and learn. The time commitment is short—usually just a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on their age. By fostering, you’ll be helping us save countless tiny lives.

You must be 18 or older
Live in Cambria or within a 30-mile radius
Have a space to contain them in separate from your other pets
Be willing to bring your fosters to follow-up vet visits

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.
