H.E.A.R.T.
Our Featured Pet...
AMBER is a young, affectionate, playful kitty. She is a true "instant cat"; she loves all humans immediately. She also gets along well with dogs! Amber is less than fond of other felines, however. She must be the only kitty in her new home. Amber is spayed, up to date on vaccines, negative for FIV / FeLV, was dewormed, is flea-free and has great litterbox habits. She is READY for her forever home!

WE NEED FOSTER HOMES! Can you help? We could save the lives of more needy animals if we had access to more loving, temporary homes. H.E.A.R.T Rescue pays for the food, supplies and veterinary care for your foster "fur-kid". You provide play time, feed time and the space! You'd be saving a life at no cost to you! If you are willing and able to commit to being a foster parent for a H.E.A.R.T rescued animal, please email: heidimsw@yahoo.com. We'd love to hear from you!
You say you can't adopt or foster but you still want to help? We are currently in need of cat litter and cat food....We like scoopable (clumping) cat litter - clay for adult cats and wheat / pine / corn-based for tiny kittens. We use Purina O.N.E. and Science Diet cat / kitten food (dry only) ! Email us for a convenient drop-off or pick-up location! Thanks for helping us to give aid to more homeless animals!
Who We Are
We are a small, no-kill, non-profit rescue dedicated to rescuing and re-homing abandoned animals who need and deserve new, loving forever-homes. We work out of foster homes and do not have a shelter facility. We do not accept "owner-turn-ins". Please do NOT email asking us to take in your pet due to moving, allergies, etc. We only rescue animals who are living on the streets or whose "time is up" (they will be euthanized) at municipal pounds and shelters.
Adoption fees will vary from animal to animal, depending upon how much we've had to spend on the animal's care. For instance, animals who come to us already spayed/neutered will have a smaller adoption fee than those for whom we had to to pay for spay/neuter surgery. While some adoption fees may seem high, please note that we do NOT
"make profits" - EVER - on the animals we rescue and adopt out. We SPEND more than we ever GET BACK from our adoption fees.
The purpose for charging an adoption fee is to help us partially off-set the costs incurred by the housing, the feeding and (especially) the veterinary care of our rescues. Your adoption donation helps us to assist more animals in need!
Adopting a friend
The first step in adopting from us is to send an email telling us you are interested in one of our rescued animals. We will send you an adoption application to fill out. This is not to critique or judge you, but rather to see which of our "furkids" will best fit in with your lifestyle. Also, since we operate out of foster homes and not a public facility, we are opening our private homes up to strangers when people come to meet a rescued animal. Therefore, we'd like to know a little about our potential visitors first. Once your application is on file, we will make an appointment for you to visit the "fur-kid" in his/her foster home.
CAT adoption fees will vary from $50-$100, depending on how much veterinary care was given by us (which we paid for out-of-pocket) and how long the cat was in our care.
DOG adoption fees vary from $150-$250, for the same reasons as above. (Altering / vaccinating / de-worming a dog costs quite a bit more than the same vet work for cats; hence the higher adoption fee).
Come Visit Us!
Directions to our foster homes will be given to those whose completed adoption applications are on file with us. No phone calls will be made and no visits will be arranged until the application has been filled out and sent to us. We thank you for your understanding and support of our policies!
