Helping Animals Rescue Team

Helping Animals Rescue Team HART is a small non profit foster based cat rescue, meaning we do not have a facility and rely on our incredible foster homes to save animals in need.

We are located in Crossville, TN. We rescue high risk cats from our local animal shelter & conduct TNR. Chewy Wishlist

Hello Cat supporters!!!
We have to say a HUGE thank you for helping us limp along while we fell over from exhaustion and all the other problems that crashed on top of us. We have been taking it slower but still helping cats. Just not eleventy fivety eight hundred.
We have several precious babies at pet sense and a few more in fosters either gaining weight to be fixed or recovering from various minor illnesses.
Weve reached out to the shelter just to see how their numbers are. We try to help them keep numbers reasonable so they dont get over run.
We will be trying to help with a few more barn cats as we can so check with your farm friends or homesteads that may need some mousers!

We totally slept through giving Tuesday and our auction has been tripped over so we are going to get back to fundraising for the new year and hopefully we can get some additional cat trappers trained as well. Were still here after moving to crossville 14 years ago!
Cumberland county cats deserve our best fight!

This little guy was found by one of our fosters. His name is Pogo beans and yeah hes missing his front foot. At some point in his very young life he was grabbed by something and it crushed the bone in his elbow area and his wrist in addition to snipping off that foot. Did it stop this guy? Nope. He runs. He plays. He chases stuff. He loves every cat hes met and couldn't care less about the dogs
No need to remove the leg at this point so he gets to just be a stumpy boy.

We got some kitten pressies! Canned cat and kitten and dry!So grateful for all the help we've gotten!

What is our domestic cat program about?
Glad you asked!
HART Rescue gets 95% of our adoptable cats from our local shelter. Why?
Our local shelter is a low kill shelter. They dont put animals down just because they've been there a while. They dont put them down just because they get sick or we're injured. They sometimes have to euthanize if they are out of space. That's where HART comes in! We are the only local rescue that takes cats from our shelter. When they begin to get overloaded we rally our foster homes and see where we can make space and we take what we can. Sometimes its just one litter of kittens to give them a condo free. Sometimes its alllll the barn cats so we can free up a whole room! (We will talk about the barn cat program soon)
We have good communication with our shelter so we can help them keep those numbers manageable.
The other 5% of kittens come out of colonies we trap. If we have foster space.

Thundercake just make her pet sense debut!
She is sweet and playful, a little more shy than her sister frosting.

Wr have had quite a few adoptions so that puts money back in the coffers too and we will be able to finish fixing our last fews unaltered kitties with these funds. We are going to focus on the domestic and barn cats while our TNR crew regroups.
