We love cats. You love cats. It’s National Cat Day. So obviously, we should all share photos of cats. We’ll start with this sweet pic of 6-year-old Bramble. Such a lovely gal!

Show us your favorite pics of your kitties in the comments!😺

Looking to add a fabulous feline friend to your life? We can help with that. We’re open for adoptions Fridays 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, Saturdays 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Sundays 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm. To make the most of your visit, we ask that you have an approved adoption application prior to arriving at the shelter. Check out our website for information about our available cats and adopting from HART: www.hartofme.org/adoption-information.

Thank you to the kind folks at Uncommon Paws Company Store in Portland for including HART and our cats in their celebration of National Cat Day!

From Thursday 10/29 through Sunday 11/1, this small, independent business in the Old Port will be donating 20% of the proceeds from the sale of cat products to HART, along with making a donation match. Pawesome!

We are so grateful for this support, and encourage you to support the businesses that give back to their communities.❤️

Companion animal parents and caregivers, take note!

Our friends at Portland Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Care are relocating the majority of their services, including 24/7 emergency care, to their new facility at 422 US Route 1 in Falmouth on November 2, 2026. The Warren Ave, Portland location will be offering urgent care and dentistry/oral surgery. Details in the post below.

We’re moving on November 2! 💙

Starting November 2 at 8 a.m., Portland Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Care’s 24/7 emergency room, critical care, ICU, and specialty services (except dentistry & oral surgery) will be located at our new hospital at 422 US Route 1 in Falmouth.

Our 739 Warren Avenue location in Portland will continue to offer:
• Urgent care: Thursday–Saturday, noon–10 p.m.
• Dentistry & oral surgery appointments: Tuesday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.

Once the move takes effect, Warren Avenue will no longer be a 24-hour emergency facility. Our Dermatology and Ophthalmology services will transition from Congress Street to our Falmouth location.

*****ATTENTION CITY OF S**O AND SURROUNDING AREA RESIDENTS*****

This orange tabby and white, male cat was found as a stray near Watson Hill Road in S**o and brought to HART today. We estimate him to be 5 to 6 years old, and he is extremely friendly. He is neutered, but unfortunately he is NOT microchipped (we always thoroughly scan for one!). He has a wound on his head but he is safe and being cared for by our Medical Team. Currently known as Stray Orange Cat, this guy has been frequenting the area around his finder’s house for about 2 weeks, and they have not been able to identify his possible home or owner. We have reached out to our friends at Maine Lost Cat Recovery for their assistance.

If you are this cat’s owner or know who he is, please contact our Medical Manager, Bobbi-Jo Dobbs, via email at [email protected] or leave a voice message on her direct phone line: 207-489-9526. Proof of ownership in the form of vet records, photos, and the ability to describe a few specific characteristics of this cat will be required in order to claim him.

Please note that this cat is NOT available for adoption, and our focus is on finding his owner. Please help us reunite this nice kitty with his family by sharing and reacting to our post. Thank you! ❤️

Warm, snuggly vibes for this chilly, rainy Monday.

And yes, that’s Yam with one of his besties! Probably Gooseberry. But it could be Firethorn. We didn’t want to wake them up to find out. 😻
