We’re still full of kittens in our Cattery, and these little fur-babies have some BIG appetites! 🐱 As they grow, play, and get ready to find their forever families, they need plenty of nutritious food to help them grow big, strong, and healthy.

We’re looking for donations of dry kitten food to help keep all those tiny tummies full! Every bag makes a difference for the hungry little cuties counting on us.
Want to help? There are two easy ways to donate!

Shop our Amazon Wishlist and have kitten food shipped directly to HART:
👉 https://a.co/0ggiWyC4

🐾 Or drop off donations at HART anytime during our regular business hours.

Your generosity helps us provide the nutritious meals and loving care these little ones need while they wait for their happily ever after.

Thank you for helping us keep our tiniest residents happy, healthy, and well-fed! 😻

“What an amazing trip to France to visit the Ch*****ne Region and Paris with my favorite girl! I bid and won the trip at the last Black Tie & Tails and my daughter and I made the trip this last July. Everything was curated perfectly and the accommodations, travel and tours were all amazing. I can’t wait to see what offerings are up for auction this year and hope my travel companion is available for another trip of a lifetime.” ❤️

Let's start our day with an adoption update!

You might remember Dave, a paw-sitively adorable Beagle/Hound mix with a heart as big as his floppy ears! 🥰 This sweet boy found his forever family in July, and he’s been living his best life with his amazing adopters ever since!

His family recently sent us these adorable update pictures, and of course, we just had to share them with you! ❤️ Swipe through to see Dave living his best life!

His family shared that Dave has been doing great since coming home and has been the perfect fit for their family. He’s lovable, full of energy, and incredibly smart, and he quickly became a beloved member of the family!

Dave has also been working hard on his training and doing a great job learning his property boundaries. He’s clearly settling right in and enjoying all the adventures that come with being home! ❤️

And perhaps our favorite part? His adopter shared that Dave is absolutely loved and that they made a great choice in adopting from HART. 🥹

Those are the words that make our hearts so happy! Knowing that a pet like Dave has found the love, security, and happily ever after they deserve is exactly why we do what we do.

We know every pet who comes through our doors deserves a second chance like the one Dave found, and we can’t wait to make more happy tails happen for the pets still waiting for their forever families!

Could your future best fur-iend be waiting for you?

It’s National Pet Wellness Month!

Our pets may not be able to tell us when something doesn’t feel quite right, which is why regular wellness exams are so important! 🐶🐱

Routine veterinary care can help catch potential health concerns early and keep your pet feeling their best at every stage of life. From wellness exams and vaccinations to parasite prevention and other preventive care, a little proactive care can go a long way! ❤️

When was your pet’s last wellness exam? If it’s been a while, National Pet Wellness Month is the perfect reminder to schedule a checkup!

📞 Call the HART Animal Center at 301-387-7729 to schedule your pet’s appointment.

Plus, when you choose HART for your pet’s veterinary care, book a stay at our Bed ’n Bark Inn Pet Hotel, or shop at our Pick of the Litter Thrift Shop, you’re not only taking care of your own furry family member, you’re also helping support our mission to care for pets in need and give more animals their second chances. It’s a win-win!

Give your best friend the gift of good health—not just this month, but all year long! 🥰
