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.

Our philosophy is ensuring quality of life to all living creatures, both feral and domestic.
By controlling the reproduction rate of neighborhood strays, we are relieving some of the burden from the county pound, consequently saving money for the local governments and taxpayers.  By "cleaning up" the local neighborhoods, HART also helps prevent tom-fighting, spraying and the possible spread of diseases from the feral and stray animals to family pets.  Pet overpopulation is a huge cost to the taxpayers, to the lives of the animals, and to the hearts of the people who care.

To further our mission in finding good permanent homes for our rescued animals, HART has purchased a used truck to use as an Adopt-A-Pet mobile.  You can Help!  Please click picture for more information!

HART is a non-profit, tax exempt, volunteer humane service organization dedicated to people and their pets as well as the homeless and stray animals who need our help.  We are incorporated under the auspices of the Secretary of State of California.  HART is fully tax-exempt under the U.S. Treasury Department section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue code.  Our tax identification number is 77-0018508.
