Every day at HART, we meet cats who need more than just a shelter—they need a hero. Boone is one of those cats.
Boone came to HART with a traumatic spine and tail injury. His injury was so severe that part of his tail had to be amputated, and he couldn’t even relieve himself on his own. It was heartbreaking to see such a loving and spirited kitten facing such big challenges.
But Boone had something that many cats in his situation don’t: heroes. HART’s dedicated medical team and foster caregivers became the heroes Boone desperately needed. Through weeks of specialized care, patience, and love, Boone began to heal. His determination matched the unwavering support of his caretakers, and now he’s able to feel when he needs to “go.” Though accidents happen, Boone’s progress has been nothing short of remarkable, and his playful, affectionate spirit has never wavered.
Today, Boone is the same loving kitten he was always meant to be—outgoing, full of energy, and happiest when he’s with his people. He loves riding on shoulders, sitting in laps, and making friends with cats and dogs alike. Yet, despite his charm, Boone has been waiting five long months for his next hero—a family willing to see past his challenges and embrace the boundless love he has to give.
HART’s mission is to ensure cats like Boone are never without hope. It’s the generosity of donors and supporters that makes stories like Boone’s possible. Your donations provide the medical care, specialized diets, and resources these less-adoptable cats need while they wait for their forever families.
This Giving Tuesday, you can be the hero Boone—and so many cats like him—are waiting for. Your gift ensures that HART can continue to rescue, heal, and love cats with medical needs, giving them the second chances they deserve.
