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!

Annabelle is a loving, long-haired calico on the prowl for her furrever home. She's a star in the Seniors and Special Needs category in HART at 10 years old! Her previous owner loved her for several years before passing away. Annabelle ended up in Animal Services frightened and confused. She was considered a "high-risk" cat so she was rescued and brought to Hart. We sent her to foster care for additional socialization which she benefited from greatly. Annabelle has settled into a routine here at Hart, but is eager to find a special someone to call her own. She loves her one-on-one time with volunteers where she can get thoroughly brushed and loved on. She literally can't get enough! She has sensitive skin, long hair, and developed allergies, so daily brushing is a must. Her activity level is moderate and she's quite the fluffball. She would thrive in a home where she can follow her companion around the house, sit on their lap for brush sessions, cuddle up on the bed for snuggles and kisses, and contently spend her senior years sharing her love with someone just as special as she is!

As she will most definitely cherish theirs.

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!

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!

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!

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!

Nick is an amazing cat full of spice and life! He's already been through lots of stuff in his young life, more than most other cats experience in their lifetime! He's a major cuddle bug (once he's comfortable with you) and he happens to be a Special Needs cat here at HART. Nick was born with a structural defect of the sternum called Pectus Excavatum. The sternum was growing towards his lungs and heart and he needed multiple surgeries to correct his condition. His Pectus Excavatum has been corrected and he can finally move on to his furrever home. The Guardian Angel program at HART, along with generous donors, saved his life! Nick spent a good amount of time in foster care with the HART Medical Director and got lots of tender, loving care as a result! He's a really loving, sweet and gentle guy who seems to be shy at first, but he's a special boy who is just ready to shoot hearts and purrs through the air towards his lovely new family.
Because “he's been through the wars,” he really understand the value of a warm lap, a hug and a loving gaze!

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!

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!

Val is a 10 year old brown, domestic, short hair tabby. He was trapped in Cambria. His owner had to leave and was unable to take him along. He is a sweet boy who will rub his head against you and purr, and even put his paws around your neck and give you hugs. However, he wants to be free to roam outdoors. He probably should be an only cat since he has a tendency to dominate other cats. If you are looking for a casual, free spirit kitty who wants some freedom, he could be your new friend. You will find Val in the patio roo at HART.

Willy is a friendly cross-eyed dude ready to leap into your arms! He's 3 years young, and on the Special Needs team because he is a bit shy at first, and maybe looks a little bit different too because of his adorable crossed eyes. Willy spent the first two years of his life living in a car, so he's used to tight spaces - but he's enjoyed stretching his legs out, and would love to do it in a real home! Willy is a gregarious, outgoing guy who will immediately warm up to you after a few seconds sniffing you out. Willy has amazing Bengal-like markings and a great-looking orange/red nose that accentuates his brown face. Willy 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!
