I’m Amber, a flame point cafe-latte beauty with dark brown ears and incredible light-blue eyes. I was an outdoor kitty when I was coming up, and now look at me- twelve years young and I’ve mastered all the social niceties and in-and-outs of human society, including making friends. When you first meet me, you’ll notice I’m shy. That’s true. But I absolutely love being petted softly and it’s not hard to get me to purr. Carmela, my co-senior BFF (Best Feline Friend), and I love to cuddle, groom, and just hang out. I enjoy that because growing up, I didn’t have the chance to just be myself- I had to prowl the fields for dinner! I’m looking for a forever home where I can just settle right in with Carmela and just purr our little hearts out. I have the craziest-sweetest purr in the world, I’ve been told- like a cotton candy machine mixed in with a little bit of instrumental music! I would love to go home with you today- just call HART at (805) 927-7377 and ask them to hold up the phone for my purr, and you’ll know who it is. Visit me at 2638 Main Street in downtown Cambria and let’s have a cuddle session together!

Andre was living in the streets most of his life. He was brought to HART with skin cancer on his nose, but it was treated and he has been healing nicely. Andre doesn't get along with other cats. He does like people and is very friendly and craves someone just to be in the room with him. He doesn't seem to like to be alone and will talk to you for some attention.

Hi, I’m Annabelle!! I’m a loving long-haired calico on the prowl for my furrever home. I’m a star in the Seniors and Special Needs category in HART at nine years old! My previous owner loved me for several years before passing away. My fitness tracker usually records over 50,000 figure eights every day for me, because I absolutely love weaving through human legs! It’s really my favorite pastime- other than being lavished with strokes, leaping into laps of unsuspecting humans, and being brushed. I have long hair, so of course I need to get those brushing sessions in- but I don’t mind one bit because it only means more cuddles! My activity level is moderate and I’m quite a fluffball. [HART staff: No, you have some extra fluff you need to lose.] Okay, yes, I may have a slight weight problem, but it's mostly all my fur. I’m really looking forward to getting out of the shelter and into your home, where I can just be a “Netflix-and-Chill” cat for you.

Jonquil is a stunning black beauty. Jonquil, named after a flower, is a young female cat. She is as sleek and graceful as she is beautiful. Socialized later in life, she can be timid and shy around large groups of people or loud noises. While she may be introverted around strangers, she has no problem expressing her deep love and affection for someone she knows well. Currently, only her foster family is lucky enough to see that side of her. Joquil is looking to form a lifetime bond with someone who will cherish her unique, sensitive, and loving soul. As she will most definitely cherish theirs.

Kiki is a loving and playful kitten. A bit shy when meeting someone new, but it doesn’t take her very long to jump on your lap to ask for some petting or perhaps a cuddle. She’d love to join a household with another cat or kitten she can play with. She has lots of energy and she’d do well with a playmate. She can’t wait to join her forever family!

Why, hello, hello! I’m Beautie, a two year old who showed up at HART as a stray. I may be from the streets, but I’ve got quite a different personality- I am straight-up shy. There, I said it… I’m shy! That’s why I’m a Special Needs superstar. I’m working on letting my guard down- you can just see my inner beauty shining through my eyes every time someone walks into the room. Some folks might want the perfect cat, but I need the perfect home. Adopt me, and work on me a bit- before long, I’ll be your absolute best friend! I get along great with other cats and every visitor who drops in to see me is always impressed with my luxuriously soft fur and my cute purrs. Give me the chance to thrive, and you won’t be disappointed! I promise that I may be shy at first, but then melt in your arms when I get the chance to know you!

Hi, my name is Bronson, and I am 1 year old. I am very curious and friendly and have a cute reddish brown nose. I'm a fun and playful little guy. My favorite toys include wand toys, foil balls, bouncy balls, shoelaces, boxes, and so on and so on. I can pretty much make a toy out of anything- I'm one smart dude! After a fun play session I'm always down to snuggle up for some cuddles and love. I am looking for a loving home where we can grow old together. Would you be willing to be my forever family? Come and visit me and see if we could be a good match.

Whoah, dude! It’s me, Buddy. I’m a delicate lilac-point Siamese Snowshoe Manx. Try saying that three times over! I’m fourteen years young, full of personality, spark and laid-back surfer dude cool, man! My best pal Mickey and I landed at HART in February after our pet parent passed away, so we’re looking for our next adventure. I’m outgoing and gregarious- ready to greet everyone! I love leaping from spot to spot on the cat tree, scoping out the waves. My short tail only makes me that much more adorable- wait until you see it wave back and forth! Both Mickey and I are considered special needs- we’re senior cats and a bonded pair. You might think that we’re too old to keep up with you, but trust me, you’re too old to keep up with us! We’re just the right amount of active- exactly like a pair of surfer dudes looking to catch their next wave! I’d love to get out there and crush some waves with you soon! ~~~ Aloha, Buddy

Buttercup is a gorgeous young tabby girl with beautiful markings and unique orange undertones. The fur on Buttercup is beyond luxurious - super soft and squishy, making her a perpetual cuddle magnet. While Buttercup and her siblings were found in a feral colony and socialized later in life through HART foster care, it’s hard to believe that they started life as feral kittens! Buttercup came to HART with siblings Samson and Kinji. Samson and Kinji have been adopted but Buttercup is still available for adoption. The common thread connecting this trio of cats is definitely their sumptuous fur! Thanks to their wonderful fosters, all three cats were able to receive lots of love and socialization with humans and other animals, and it shows! Buttercup can seem a bit shy at first, but loves being pet. Just like her flower namesake, Buttercup has blossomed into such an amazing kitty with high awareness of emotions.

t’s me, Carmela *paw waves*. I’m a long hair caramel tabby with marshmallows, chocolate chips and graham crackers all over! I might as well have been called S’mores.. maybe in another life, I was! Here’s my deal. I suppose I’m what you’d call a Special Needs and Senior kitty. I know, I’m not too into labels, either, but I guess humans think I have special needs because I grew up as an outdoorswoman. I’m quite handy with pitching a tent, but I don’t know anything about table placements. Not to worry! I’ve learned tons from my BFF (best feline friend) Amber, who I’m just in love with. And I know we ladies aren’t supposed to reveal our age *cough* tw- twelve— Wait, how d’ya know I was twelve years young? Tsk! I certainly don’t look my age, do I? Moving on… I’m crazy about hanging out with Amber, but I’m also crazy about getting chin scratches and some lovin’. I might come across as slightly shy at first, but when I really get to understand your petting style, whoah! I come out of my shell and usually you’ve got a twofer lovefest on your hands, with both Amber and I purring away and you trying to keep up!

Devyn is a return resident to Hart, his journey began as a feral kitten and with socialization he has grown into an affectionate and gentle human-lover. Devyn had been adopted, but when moving into a new residence he started spraying over the apartment possibly due to past markings left by the cat of the previous tenants. It may also have been an anxiety related issue. Devyn grew up with one other cat and a pit bull; so while devyn does get along well with other cats and animals, he may become territorial with another male cat. Devyn is an extremely affectionate cat but doesn’t love to be picked up. He has experience around young children and enjoys long petting sessions. He also doesn’t bite or scratch when he’s over stimulated. He's playful yet gentle and has an adorable obsession with running water. He is a wonderful cat and will do best with a caring and understanding family as he is a sensitive boy who is easily affected by his surroundings. He may have a hard time adjusting and will require patience and love and he will give it back at his own pace - but when he does it's the most heartwarming and explosive love on earth.

Hey, I am George and you are my new best friend! That is once I get to know you of course... I'm a little shy with strangers. Everyone says I'm pretty funny and always doing adorable stuff that makes people laugh. I just love playing and having fun, but I also love my down time to relax and be petted. My favorite place to hang out is a cardboard box! I have always been an indoor-only kitty, so that is where I feel most comfortable and safe. Although, I love our catio here at HART where I can watch the birds and bask in the unfiltered light, safe from predators. I have a big personality; I wear my heart on my sleeve! When I'm scared, I show it... and when I'm happy, I show it! Come hang out with me, I could really use the playtime and attention!

Hi Cool People! My name is Gloria! I was found with my four brothers and sisters just down the street from HART. My siblings are Stanley, Mabel, Norman, and Benny. We started out being very scared of people, but all of the gentle volunteers showed how wonderful humans really are! I may come off as shy at first, but don't worry because I warm up fast and when I do, you're in for a treat! I love to be petted, cuddle with my siblings, and munch on some tasty wet food!

Ink. Ink Spot is the name. I know it’s an unusual name, but I’m a unique calico full of patches here and there! I’m fourteen years young, but don’t call me a senior! I lived with my dad for thirteen glorious years, but due to life’s challenges, I wound up here at HART. I’m such a well-behaved indoor kitty full of love for people! Seriously, I love spending time with my favorite person- is that you? I purr like crazy when people visit the shelter and spend time petting and hugging me! I love my brushing sessions because it gives me the chance to bond with humans. I know I’m up there in age, but that only means I have more love to give- and that I’m extremely well trained, polite and sweet! Visit me at HART to learn all about your potential new best friend (hint, hint, that’s me, Ink Spot)! See you soon *paw waves*

Hi, I'm a sweet-hearted girl named Winnie. At my old home, I was the only cat, so I'm not used to living with other animals. I'm an indoor kitty who is sweet and gentle. I may have a hard time adjusting to new situations, but I know a patient and kind person will find me at HART and give me a chance. I still have a lot of life and a lot of love to give!

My name is Penelope, most people think I'm cute and charming, and I do too! A unique thing about me is that I was born with deformed eyelids, otherwise known as Eyelid Agenesis. Since I have this deformity, I need Liquid Tear eye drops two or three times a day; they really help keep my eyes from getting too dry. Getting the eyes drops may not be my favorite activity, but I do a great job of staying still! I also need to stay indoors because of the dust and dirt that could irritate my eyes from the outdoors. I have a great personality and love to hang out with humans, be petted, held, and snuggle! Please bring me home, I promise I will love you forever!

While in foster care Leah received at home physical rehabilitation exercises and her foster family took Leah on leash walks around their yard.

Hi there, I am Leonardo, and let me just say that I have a wonderful personality! I have a couple of quirks, such as my short tail and my eyelid agenesis. Eyelid agenesis sounds scarier than it actually is, it just means that I have deformed eyelids. All you need to do to help me out is give me Liquid Tear eye drops two or three times a day. I promise that it’s not too hard, I have gotten very good at staying still! It’s also important for me to stay inside because of the dust and dirt in the outdoors which could irritate my eyes. My sister Penelope & I are the only 2 left from our litter still here at H.A.R.T. I love them (and all cats) very much. So if you bring me home, please bring me to a home with other kitties, possibly another kitty from H.A.R.T.! I can’t wait to meet you and become pals for life!

Lucille is a beautiful senior tuxedo kitty. She’s sweet and loves pets, and will make you melt with her gorgeous green eyes! One of her favorite things to do is sit on the bench in her room and get some human pets. She’s great with dogs, children, and other cats. She has a few knocks against her that make it difficult for her to find her furrever home - she is 15 and FIV+. She is still healthy and can live a great life, and lavish love on her new family! If you are looking for a special girl that deserves a home, Lucille is a great candidate!

Yoo-hoo, it’s Nick, an amazing cat full of spice and life! I've been through lots of stuff, more than most other cats experience in their lifetime, and now I'm on the flip side! I'm a major cuddle bug, and I happen to be a Special Needs cat here at HART. I was born with a structural defect of the sternum called Pectus Excavatum. Y’see, the sternum is that bone that is right there in the center of your chest and I needed multiple surgeries to correct my condition, phew! My Pectus Excavatum has been corrected and I can finally move on to my furrever home! The Guardian Angel program at HART, along with generous donors, saved my life. I spent a good amount of time in foster care with the HART Medical Director and got lots of tender, loving care as a result! I’m a really loving, sweet and gentle guy who seems to be shy at first, but I’m a crazy special dude who is just ready to shoot hearts and purrs through the air towards my lovely new family. Because “I’ve been through the wars,” I really understand the value of a warm lap, a hug and a loving gaze!

Hi, I'm a 2-year-old Snowshoe Siamese full of bottomless cuddles and purrs. I'm ready to pounce into your life with joie de vivre! Since I arrived here at HART I've been practicing one skill in hopes it gets me closer to my furrever home. Want to know what skill that is? I can levitate CAT BEDS!!!! Yes, you read that right- if you come visit me at HART you'll see exactly how I can move a cat bed across the room with nothing but the power of my mind. You have to see it to believe it. Willow, my sister is a pro at moving cat beds across impossible distances too! What else d'ya wanna know about me? Hmm... Well, my fur is luxuriously soft, and I can only see shadows- in fact, that's what I see! Light and shadows! I move around really well so you'd never know. I love being scratched on the right side of my chin- that feels marvelous! Willow and I both have really fun markings that cover most of our faces and then our tails, but our bodies are mostly white. We definitely make a great pair! I came to HART with my sister, Willow, because our family was moving and could no longer take care of us. We're so young- only two years old- so we will adjust quickly to our new family in no time! Are you a rockstar? Construction worker? Unicorn-chaser? Librarian? Accountant? Magician? A really good human? If you're any of the above, we want to meet you!

Smokey is a beautiful and gentle kitty whose lived a hard knock life thus far - she was abandoned by her previous owners years ago and has been living on the streets of Cambria. Her favorite hangout was at the Bluebird Inn where the staff would feed her and give her love. However, one day they noticed Smokey had several lacerations on her neck and jaw - it appeared she had an altercation with another animal and was in dire need of medical attention. After contacting Hart Smokey was immediately taken to a vet to receive treatment for her wounds. Smokey is quite the trooper and is now healthy and back on her feet. Considering how friendly Smokey is, Hart did not release her back onto the streets and are looking to place her into a loving and safe home. Having to fend for herself for so many years Smokey is shy and guarded when meeting new people, but she is adjusting and loves to be brushed and petted. She is a resilient and amazing kitty who needs a quiet and loving forever home.

Hey Wonderful People, Starlet here! And I am a star for I shine bright! I am a big fluffy ball of love and happiness! You see it sparkling through my eyes! I came to HART with my sister, Tippy, from a home that couldn't take care of me anymore. Tippy doesn't live at HART anymore... we both go adopted to different families, but unfortunately only I was returned. My former family had could no longer have cats at their house, so that meant "bye bye Starlet". I absolutely LOVE petting and attention! I am happiest when I am cuddle up with my own personal hoo-man. I would enjoy a home with other kitty friends to play and cuddle with! I have been indoor/outdoor before, but primarily indoor-only, so I don't need to go outdoors. Give me chin scratches, play time, and yummy food and I will be happy as a clam! I hope that you will come meet me soon and fall in love with my special personality!

Hello Friends, I'm Thornton! I am like a present waiting to be unwrapped! I came to HART with my two brothers, Dagwood, and River. We started life living outside. I can be nervous around people since we didn't have a lot of contact with humans at a young age. As time has gone on, the volunteers at HART have helped me trust people, but sometimes I'm still nervous around new people. I am like a present because, I have a wonderful purrrsonality just waiting to be unwrapped! All you have to do to unleash my fabulous self is love me! I would like a home that is quiet and easy-going, with people who are going to love on me and play with me. I have been with other kitties forever, so a home with furry friends would be great! I hope you will come meet my adorable self soon!

I'm Tibby, an outgoing 12 year old male tuxedo cat! Although I am FIV+, I am in good health and can still live a long, happy, and healthy life. I was brought to HART because my family was moving to Europe. I am very sociable and will usually be the first one to greet you when you visit the fireplace room at HART. I'll probably even jump into your lap if you sit down and purr away! I currently live in an open room with other cats, and would be able to live in a home with multiple cats - I am also a mellow boy and would be good in a home with seniors or a family. Come on to HART to meet me and my friends!

Hey, it's Willie! I'm a friendly cross-eyed dude ready to leap into your arms. I'm 2 years young, and I'm on the Special Needs team cos I look shy at first, and maybe I look a little bit different too because of my adorable crossed eyes.

I'll give it up to the HART staff to explain more about me. HART: Why, thank you, Willie! Willie is a gregarious, outgoing guy who will immediately warm up to you after a few seconds sniffing you out.

Willie is the perfect guy for sunshine-filled afternoons and reading sessions- he'll really enjoy spending time with you, your other pets and your family members just because he's grateful for a bit of attention. He's low-maintenance and he's a real caretaker- he's already helped other cats in our shelter feel more comfortable during their temporary stay! Come and visit Willie in the Mural Room here at HART. You won't regret visiting Willie- his purrs will put some pep in your step! Call us at (805) 927-7377 to learn more about this purrilicious dude!

Wispy Wispy Wispy!!! Yup, that's me- a long-haired light caramel brown tabby with a white bib and socks! You know how some cats love to chill in their favorite spots for weeks and then ignore their spots for like, months? Well, that used to be me, but now I'm OBSESSED with my adorable little cat bed set up. If I'm not curled up in my cat bed, I will get cuddles anywhere I can- the floor, the catio, or from unsuspecting passerby. I'll steal your heart as soon as you put your hands on my fluffy fur, cos you know I'm the real deal! I'm super cuddly and sweet, but I'm so over this whole shelter situation. I'd love to land into my forever home with just a teensy bit of aplomb, ready to seize the days ahead! C'mon, give me a shot- I promise you won't regret it!
