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.
