HART, Homeless Animal Rescue Team (Cambria)

HART has always been a pioneer, hands-on, volunteer organization “working in the trenches” to make a difference in our community of San Luis Obispo County, by trapping and neutering stray and feral cats, fostering sick, injured, needy, and orphaned animals, and showcasing them through Adopt-A-Pet events, or sheltering them, until we can find the best matched homes for them all.

We have the privilege to work with local veterinarians who generously donate their time and provide medical services at discounted fees.

While we occasionally rescue dogs and puppies, we are mostly a cat rescue organization.

Our mission is to eliminate the unwanted and surplus pets from being born; and to serve and protect the ones who are born. Through this relentless pursuit, we will reach the point of balance between supply and demand. In return, animals will become more valuable and therefore, hopefully, treated with the respect they deserve.

Our goal is "Pound Prevention" with homes for all. Spaying and neutering is paramount; with fewer animals in the pounds, fewer must die. BIRTH PREVENTION = POUND PREVENTION.
