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.
From Spring through Fall, kitten season brings a surge of adorable but vulnerable little ones seeking safety and love. Kitten fosters play a crucial role in providing:
Â
Nurturing Care:Â Ensure kittens receive the warmth, feeding, and attention they need to grow healthy and happy.
Socialization:Â Help kittens develop the confidence and social skills necessary for successful adoption.
Preparation for Adoption:Â Prepare kittens to thrive in their forever homes by teaching them essential behaviors and habits.
By fostering kittens, you’re giving them a fighting chance to find their perfect families and grow into thriving adult cats.
