Pet First Aid & CPR Workshop
Homeless Animal Rescue Team is hosting an opportunity for you to learn life-saving skills for your cat or dog. This workshop especially benefits the Cambria community because the nearest Pet ER is 40 minutes away.
This 4-hour class is taught by veteran Vet Tech Renee Brittell. It’s super fun and very interactive with extensive hands-on practical learning. We cover all you need to know about life-saving skills and how to prevent ER visits. You’ll also learn very important techniques on how to determine your animal’s true underlying health when illness or emergencies arise.
The Pet Tech curriculum includes: CPR (mouth to snout), rescue breathing, choking management, bleeding protocols, shock management, bites and stings, poisoning, the ABC’s of First Aid, bandaging, heat/cold injuries, wellness assessment, dental health, & senior care.
The workshop will be held at HART on August 10th from 10:00 - 2:00. The cost is $125 for a 2 year certificate. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the cats at HART. You’ll receive a CPR handbook, and CPR wallet cards.

You’ll be happy you took the time for this educational workshop and your furry family will love you for it!

June was an AMAZING month! 23 HART cats and kittens were ADOPTED! Thank you to the families who opened their hearts and homes to these wonderful fur-babies. We are SO excited that these cats and kittens found their fur-ever homes.
We are extra excited that 15-year-old Manx, who has lived the hard life of a neighborhood stray for years has found a purrson who is absolutely smitten with him. He is currently being adored and pampered and enjoying the cushy indoor life - as he deserves. Congratulations on your adoption, Manx!
In addition, we are thrilled for long-term resident, Andy, who finally found a home alongside his shelter buddy, Ginger.
We couldn't be happier for senior kitizen, Kookie, 6-year-old Fifi, and lots and lots of adorable kittens who also found new homes in June.

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!

Thank You for Coming to Cambria Hospitality Night
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!
