September was a life changing month for 8 HART cats and kittens - they went to their fur-ever homes!
We are excited to report that most of September's adoptions happened in pairs, including one bonded mother & son duo.
We are especially thrilled about Roscoe's adoption. Roscoe has had a hard life so far - being bonded for life with his very sick sister, Squeaks, who recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Roscoe has had a hard time adjusting to his mulitiple living situations and life's curveballs, and he has struggled to truly relax and be himself. Life sent Roscoe & Squeaks a hero in June who agreed to foster them, even with Squeaks' health care needs and incontinence. That wonderful foster has now adopted Roscoe, and he is finally truly thriving in his purrfect fur-ever home.

Pinedorado
Pinedorado Weekend in Cambria was a great time! 🌲🐴🤠 HART had fun creating our Pinedorado Parade entry and we wanted to share it with you, along with some other highlights of the parade. There were approximately 60 wonderful participants in the parade, so this is only a few. We hope you enjoy! 😺 HART Volunteers helped out all weekend at the Pinedorado Grounds serving up yummy corn. 🌽 For more info about Pinedorado, visit: https://www.cambrialions.org

Thank You for Supporting HART with Dinner at Harmony Cafe' and Music by Jill Knight!
It was a huge success! The four-course dinner, fundraising event, on the evening of Saturday June 22nd, was a lovely evening that raised over $2,100 for HART's cats and kittens!

KITTEN FOSTERS NEEDED
Kitten season is rampant from Spring to Fall, and HART needs fosters who can help us save these vulnerable lives. Kitten fosters provide care and support to kittens until they are old enough to thrive on their own and be adopted.
Unfortunately, there are always more kittens and cats in need than fosters available to help them. You can make a huge impact by fostering these vulnerable animals, for a couple of weeks or more, and helping to spread the word about your experience to other potential foster parents.
HART provides all the food, supplies, veterinary care and support. All you need to provide is a warm home and plenty of TLC!

Photos with Santa Paws benefiting HART!
We had a wonderful time at Cambria Hospitality Night! Thank you to those of you who came out and supported HART by taking photos with Santa Paws. Thanks to Cambria Rotary Club for sharing the space with us, and to Cambria Mimosas for being an amazing host!
We had dogs, kids, and families stop by for photos and goodies. Our biggest surprise came when a python, a gecko, a rabbit, and a BAT STAR all came to get their holiday photos with Santa too - thanks to the fun people at Camp Ocean Pines!

Thank you to Moonstone Cellars!
We have wonderful MEWS to share! Moonstone Cellars recently presented HART with a $1,500 check, happily received by HART representative, Carol Jean. This money was raised from donations from musicians and guests at Open Mic Nights and Moonstone Memories storytelling events that took place at Moonstone Cellars from June through September, plus, GENEROUS MATCHING GIFTS from Moonstone Cellars. We are beyond thankful to Moonstone Cellars and their supporters for this wonderful gift. This will go a long way towards helping us rescue, care for, and rehome cats in need.
Thank you Neighbors!
Thank you our wonderful neighbors for "faving" HART's Nexdoor page during Nextdoor's Neighborhood Faves Contest. We are excited to be one of the winning businesses, and we are honored to be one of your "faves!" Having the status of "Neighborhood Fave" will increase our visibility in Cambria, which means increased visibility for our cats and kittens who need homes. If you haven't faved our Nexdoor page yet, we welcome you to do so. Thank you neighbors - we appreciate YOU!
The Library Cat Cafe was a Success!
Thank you for attending the CAT CAFE hosted by the Cambria Public Library! We were excited to hold a "meet & greet" with some of HART's tiniest residents. Visitors were able to meet Dr. Penny Fiser, DVM and volunteer, Dawn Ellner, and learn about our shelter cats. The "Kitty Ditty HART Band" was attracting visitors outside, while library staff handed out information, refreshments, and cat toymaking kits.
Thank you to the County of San Luis Obispo Public Libraries for hosting this event!
