Yes! Freedom Hearts Animal Rescue is operated entirely by dedicated volunteers who generously give their time, energy, and hearts to our mission.

Our team balances full-time careers, raising families, and everyday responsibilities alongside caring for the cats who depend on us.

As our personal and professional responsibilities have evolved, we’ve made the thoughtful decision to pause active intake and adoptions so we can focus on providing consistent, compassionate, lifelong care to our sanctuary cats.

While our rescue activities may look different today, the dedication behind them remains the same. Every meal, veterinary appointment, medication, and moment of comfort is made possible by people who continue to show up for these animals simply because they deserve it.

A sanctuary cat is a cat who has found their forever home within our rescue.

While many rescued cats eventually find loving adoptive families, others need a different kind of happy ending. Some have chronic medical conditions, special behavioral needs, or circumstances that make traditional adoption more challenging. Others simply thrive with the stability, familiarity, and individualized attention of a permanent sanctuary environment.

At Freedom Hearts, our sanctuary cats are not waiting for their forever homes — they’re already home.

Our commitment is to provide them with lifelong love, proper veterinary care, nutritious food, a safe environment, and the dignity and comfort every animal deserves.

Because sometimes rescue isn’t about finding a forever home. It’s about becoming one.

Freedom Hearts Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supported by the generosity of our community.

As a volunteer-operated rescue, we rely on donations, fundraising efforts, and the kindness of individuals who believe every cat deserves a safe and loving home.

Although we have paused active intake and adoptions, the financial responsibilities of rescue have not stopped. Our sanctuary cats continue to depend on us for nutritious food, litter, routine and emergency veterinary care, medications, and other essential supplies.

For our sanctuary cats, there is no adoption day when our financial responsibilities end. Our commitment to their well-being continues throughout their lives.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps us keep the promises we’ve made to the cats already in our care.

We certainly hope so!

Freedom Hearts Animal Rescue has paused active intake, rescue, and adoption efforts while we focus on providing lifelong sanctuary care for the cats already entrusted to us.

This decision was made with the hope of creating a more sustainable future for our organization, our volunteers, and the animals who depend on us.

While we cannot provide a timeline for when adoptions may resume, our passion for rescue has never changed. We remain hopeful that, when our resources, volunteer availability, and circumstances allow, we will once again have the opportunity to help cats find loving adoptive families.

This is a pause, not a goodbye. Our mission continues, even as the way we fulfill it evolves.

We encourage our supporters to follow our website and social media pages for future announcements.

At this time, Freedom Hearts Animal Rescue is not accepting new animals, including owner surrenders, stray cats, emergency placements, or rescue intake requests.

As we pause active rescue and adoption efforts, our available resources are dedicated to providing consistent, compassionate, lifelong care for the sanctuary cats already entrusted to us.

We understand how stressful and emotional it can be to find help for an animal in need. Although we are unable to provide direct assistance or respond to individual placement inquiries, we encourage you to visit our Other Rescue Resources page.

There, you’ll find information about other animal welfare organizations and resources that may be able to assist with your situation. Please understand that each organization operates independently and may have its own intake requirements and availability.

Thank you for understanding that our decision to pause intake allows us to continue honoring the commitments we’ve already made to the cats in our care.
