HART Programs
MOMMY AND ME
HART’s Mommy & Me Program is a great resource for people who have a pregnant cat, or a new mom cat with kittens, who need our assistance. HART will help care for the mother cat through birth and post-birth, help raise her kittens, and provide essential medical care to all. Then, we spay and neuter the kittens (and their mom!), find loving homes for the kittens, and return mommy to her family. In the end, everyone is happy and well cared for.
SENIORS FOR SENIORS
HART’s Seniors for Seniors program allows local senior cat lovers, who may be on a limited income, to have the companionship of one of our senior cats, while HART maintains the health and well-being of the cat. HART provides the food and litter and any medical visits, medications, and even vet transportation that the cat may need.
THE BURT FUND
In April 2019, a stray cat came to HART and captured our hearts and hopes. When he first arrived at HART, Burt was quite scared and unsure of his surroundings and would lash out in fear. Through the hard work of HART volunteers, our staff, and Burt himself, he became comfortable with the people around him. Burt found a home with a loving family who asked us to hold a fundraiser in Burt’s name to help HART raise money to cover the expenses for the care of other stray kitties like Burt. To honor Burt’s memory and legacy, his family and HART have partnered to establish “The Burt Fund” as a permanent fundraiser. We use all monies raised to provide the medical care and other support needed to restore and maintain the health of stray cats that come into our care, with the goal of finding them adoptive forever homes.
SHY ANGELS
HART’s Shy Angels are a special group of cats who have come to HART generally not comfortable around people and are scared by loud noise and commotion. We work with them to instill the understanding that humans can be their friends! The work with these precious cats can take time, but HART commits to keeping these cats safe and happy for as long as it takes to find them the perfect home. In some cases, this is a years-long commitment.
We couldn't do this without your help.
HART receives no public funding and is supported entirely by individual donors, foundations, and businesses, not to mention our committed group of volunteers. And, as you can imagine, the cost of providing long-term care for these cats adds up.
Therefore, we are calling on our community to help defray the costs required to ensure cats that come to HART are provided with the care they need to live long lives and bring joy to those families who will eventually welcome them into their homes.
