It’s Flashback Friday! Kenny Rogers and his siblings came to us from Bedford Cares. He had a severe eye infection, dehydrated and malnourished, and covered in fleas. Kenny has been through a lot, going through a hypoglycemic episode which later found out was caused by Panleukopenia. Survival rates are low but he was such a fighter so we fought along side him. It was a lot of TLC but Kenny made it worth it. Now he’s a strong growing kitten, with a heart so big. Kenny is our first Panleukopenia survivor (and he won’t be the last one!). We’ve cherished the time we’ve had with him, seeing his transformation. Now his future family will also get to cherish the time they get to spend with him. Kenny is an example of what H.E.A.R.T. Rescue is made for. Giving the abandoned a chance.

Kenny Rogers has been spoken for. But you can take a look at our other adorable rescues waiting for their furever home.

We’re so thankful for the donations we’ve received! We’re stocked up on kitten food (for now). We are so happy our community is supporting us and thinking of our rescues! Our rescues say thank you! Full bellies equal happy hearts! Also thank you for p*e pads! We go through those like they’re going out of style!

We have our wishlist links below and will also take donations via Venmo or CashApp!

Peekaboo, Dolly sees you!! Wanna play hide and seek with Dolly? You can put in an adoption application and get pre-approved!

07/31/2024

Alduin says don’t forget about me! This sweet boy is about 14 weeks old. He’s neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and vaccinated. Some people think black cats and kittens are bad luck, but we’re here to prove them wrong! Alduin is a very playful kitten. When he’s tuckered out and ready for some loving attention, he likes to cuddle in bed. He also loves food! How can you win Alduin over instantly? A good old lick-able treat is the quickest way to his heart! Alduin is wondering when he will get to go to his furever home. We keep telling him that it will happen, the right family will come along. Help us stay truthful to Alduin and get this little boy adopted!

07/30/2024

How’s little Dolly doing? She’s doing fabulous! She loves to play but don’t worry. She loves cuddling and is quick to come up to your face and give you kisses. You’ll fall asleep to her purring while she falls asleep when you’re petting her. She loves food and doesn’t know what hungry is anymore. She’ll be available for adoption soon after getting spayed. She’s dewormed, vaccinated, and will be microchipped before she goes to her furever home.

07/30/2024

Sweet Little Lina is wondering when it’ll be her turn to go home. Lina had a very rough start to life. She can be a little shy and easily startled. It may take some time to earn her trust, but we promise it’s worth it. Lina loves to play and be in company with other kitties. She’s a gentle soul and any home would be lucky to have her.

Are you wondering what else we need for our rescues? Well, that would be food and litter! These are things that we always need and will never have enough of!

For litter we use clumping and non clumping as well as paper pellet litter too. We mainly feed our kittens Purina Kitten Chow and Fancy Feast kitten wet, but we aren’t picky! We appreciate any and all donations!

Click on the links below to donate! Or you can send us monetary donations that allow us to purchase on our own!

Woo-wee! Our rescues decided to have a purrlooza! Now they’re tuckered out and ready to sleep and dream. We know what they’re all going to be dreaming about…that purrfect furever home. All our rescues are sterilized, dewormed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. With an approved application, you could be taking one of these cuties home!

07/27/2024

Holy meow! We are so thankful for the donations we received! Kitten food is something that we are always in need of and can never have enough of. Here at H.E.A.R.T. Rescue, full bellies mean happy hearts.

07/27/2024

What time is it? Mr. Ten time! We are happy to say Mr. Ten is available for adoption! Mr. Ten has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and dewormed. He’s great with dogs and other cats. He loves to play and he loves to cuddle. He had a rough start to life but now is looking for his forever home!

07/27/2024

Hey, you! Yeah, you! Have you been debating on adopting one of our rescues?? Well Peach says this is your sign! Sweet Peach will be available for adoption shortly after her spay procedure. You can get pre-approved for an adoption application. For now, enjoy these adorable pictures!

07/26/2024

Who’s ready for the weekend?? We know Carolina is! Carolina is actually part of our Pepper crew. Carolina is named after the Carolina Reaper, a very spicy pepper, but don’t worry. Carolina has passed kitten socialization boot camp with flying colors. Sometimes these TNR rescues just need a little time and patience in the beginning, earning their trust doesn’t always happen right away. Carolina came around quickly after learning she was safe. With an approved application, you and Carolina could be cuddling this weekend! Carolina has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed.

07/25/2024

SOS! We are in need of kitten food! Wet and dry! Our rescues don’t have to worry about trying to find a food source. With H.E.A.R.T. Rescue they will never know what hungry is. But we need your help to keep these rescues happy and healthy! You can donate kitten food to us by clicking on the links below or send a monetary donation through Venmo or CashApp. Help us help them!

H.E.A.R.T. Rescue has reached over 400 followers…and we are sp*echless. It’s only been a little over 4 months since becoming recognized as an official nonprofit organization. We are blown away with the support and the donations we have received. Our main mission as a rescue is to give the abandoned a chance. Each little neonate that’s been left alone that comes our way, each little sick stray kitten who needs TLC, and even the nursing moms struggling to care for their litters. Each one of you helps us help them. All of us at H.E.A.R.T. are overwhelmed by the gracious community that has helped us get to where we are now. It takes a big heart to do what we do, but it takes a big heart to be one of our supporters. As we continue to grow, we hope our mission is continued to be shared. From the bottom of our hearts, we say thank you!

Love-
H.E.A.R.T. Rescue

Two of our members were hardworking this weekend! Look at the beautiful cat shelter and feeding station that was finished! This shelter is an outside shelter and will be used to house the actual base cat shelters and feeding station inside of it, helping to protect from weather, environmental damage, and any unwanted visitors. As always, we try and go above and beyond for our community cats. Kudos to Zach and Elizabeth for making this!

Thai says it’s Monday already?? We can’t believe it either Thai. We also can’t believe this sweet boy hasn’t been adopted yet! Thai would rather lay in bed all day and who can blame him? If you apply for an adoption application and get approved, Thai could be cuddling in bed with you! Thai thinks that is a valid work excuse!

07/22/2024

We said goodbye to one of our Peppers! H.E.A.R.T. Rescue is so excited to announce that Ghost has officially been adopted!

Ghost is now named Rex. He is his new dad’s best friend. He’s also an only pet so you know what that means! He gets all the attention and spoiling to himself. Rex has no complaints there, it suits him just fine! Rex will be going on lots of adventures in his new backpack and he may even learn how to be a harness kitty! He is living his best life. From our heart to yours!

Have you been wondering how Snow has been doing? Have you missed her? Well we have some news for you! H.E.A.R.T. Rescue is so happy to announce that Snow White has officially been adopted!

Her name is Storm now. Her new family is a part of the military and has been traveling for a while, they’re hoping to settle down soon but who knows what countries she might get to visit! Storm now has a dog brother who she loves to roughhouse with. She’s also gained a big cat brother too that she’s slowly getting to know too! She’s living her best life now! From our heart to yours!

Cow, dog, or couch potato? Thai is wondering the same thing! Thai is available for adoption and we don’t know why this sweet boy hasn’t been adopted yet. He’s a shy boy at first but you can easily win him over with pets and love! As for dogs, they’re still a mystery to him, but he’s decided they aren’t too scary!

H.E.A.R.T. Rescue is excited to announce we are partnering with Pampered Chef to raise funds to assist with medical expenses for our rescues.

Pampered Chef provides DOUBLE donations for parties scheduled for August, and we’re excited to get an early kick off! Our goal is to raise $300 OR MORE to help fund our mission to rescue and find loving families for unhomed cats and kittens, and to support the humane trap, neuter and release of cat colonies in our area.

Only through responsible pet ownership can we stop the overpopulation of unwanted pets.
Will you help us reach our fundraising goals?
Comment below to be added to our party! 🥰🐈‍⬛🐈🐾💜

H.E.A.R.T. Rescue is so excited to say that Mama Rhea is ready to find her forever home! Rhea was found at the same place our Pepper crew was. She’s not a kitten, but we couldn’t leave her in this heat. We weren’t sure how she would like being inside, hence the ear tip, but she was ready for a change! Rhea no longer has to take care of kittens, she can now enjoy catching up on her kitten days. She has been spayed, dewormed, and vaccinated. She received flea tick and heartworm prevention as well. Message us for an adoption application for sweet Mama Rhea.

H.E.A.R.T. Rescue is so excited to say that Alduin and Miraak are ready to find their forever homes! Named after characters in Skyrim, these two were actually from a cat colony that we help with, hence the ear tip! Once they recovered from surgery, it was obvious to see that they were ready to leave the street life behind and trade it for a lush life! They have both been neutered, dewormed, and vaccinated. They received flea tick and heartworm prevention as well. Message us for an adoption application for these sweet babies.
