New Year, New Goals… Volunteering at HART checks every box! ✅🐾❤️

✔️ Give back in a meaningful way
✔️ Do something that brings genuine joy
✔️ Build stronger community connections
✔️ Leave the world better than you found it

We need help with so many different tasks—from feeding, playing, brushing, and greeting visitors to sweeping, mopping, and scooping litter boxes. We are a free-roaming cat shelter, so all is done with the “help” and supervision of the cats & kittens! 🥣 📞 🧹😺

HART is in real need of volunteers right now, and we could genuinely use your help. The health, comfort, and daily care of our cats and kittens depend entirely on the people who show up for them—and lately, we’re struggling to fill our shifts.  If you’ve ever thought about volunteering… this is your moment. Come see what HART is all about.

2-Hour Shifts Available — Lend a Paw!
Office / Gift Shop
Be the friendly face visitors meet when they walk in! Answer phones, help adopters find their future feline soulmate, and ring up gift shop goodies. Your smile truly matters.
Feeding & Scooping Team
Feeding time = happy meows! Help with meals, fresh water, and yes—litter boxes too. Don’t worry, our kittens will happily “supervise,” climb you like a jungle gym, and assist with the digging.
Cleaning Crew
Help keep our cats’ spaces clean and cozy. Tasks include litter boxes, fresh water, laundry, dishes, sweeping, mopping, and cleaning carriers and cat furniture. It’s not glamorous, but it’s where we need the most help—and we’re incredibly grateful for it.
🐾 You won’t be alone—we pair volunteers whenever possible, so it’s more fun and more supportive. Plus, free-roaming cats and kittens are always nearby to “help.”
A couple hours a week makes a huge difference.
Apply today and be part of something truly meaningful. 💛

The Homeless Animal Rescue Team (HART) is based in the charming village of Cambria, located in San Luis Obispo (SLO) County along California’s stunning central coast.

Since its founding in 1983, HART has been a dedicated volunteer-run, no-kill, cage-free shelter, committed to rescuing and providing care for cats in need. Our mission is supported through active adoption programs, spay, neuter, and microchip initiatives, and a feral cat colony management program.

We rely on the hard work of passionate volunteers and the generosity of donors like you to continue our life-saving work.
Explore our website to learn more about HART, our adoptable cats and kittens, and ways you can get involved. You’ll find everything from our latest news to how you can help make a difference—all just a click away.

We invite you to visit and spend time with our wonderful cats. They’re always on the lookout for a cozy lap to call their own, and maybe—just maybe—it could be yours! Before you know it, you might find yourself adopted.
