Cayenne is
an adult emaciated orange tabby male. He was found a few days ago in his
house in New Orleans and is doing well now that he has food.
10/17/05 Update:
Cayenne was very, very thin when we got him. He is on kitten food and is
gaining weight and his abscess on his leg has cleared up. However, he has
now been diagnosed with diabetes and needs insulin shots twice a day, and
probably special food once he gains some weight. Cayenne is currently at
the vet's office and is looking for a special foster home once his
diabetes is stabilized.
10/24/05 Update:
Cayenne is going to a foster home tomorrow!
12/22/05 Update: Cayenne is now available for adoption! Click

Sunshine is a very friendly 5-month-old black male kitten. He is in the best
shape of all of the cats that we got and is extremely friendly. He loves to be
held and cuddled.
10/17/05 Update:
Sunshine was very lonely in his foster home when his foster
mom was at work all day, so he decided his foster mom was his play toy and
started attacking her when she came home from work. So the foster mom
decided to foster another HART cat to keep him company!
12/22/05 Update: Sunshine has been adopted by her foster family!

Ana (notice a theme here with the names!) is an older shepherd mix that seemed
very sad and lost. She is calm and sweet and once she knew we were her
friends she seemed to relax a bit. We are guessing that Ana is about 7 or
8 and she was the only one who is not significantly underweight.
9/29/05 Update: Ana's owner has been
located. Ana's real name is Sandy.

Houston was in the worst shape. 70% of
Houston's body was covered in tar. After 2 hours of washing with a strong
solvent we still could not get all the tar off of him. It looked like this
substance had been on him for a couple of weeks. Houston is now a bright blond color and
weighs about 50 pounds. He is calm and gentle and loving with lots of
kisses to give. Houston has an extremely advanced case of
heartworms, the most severe our vet has ever seen. 10/29/05 Update:
We are very sad to tell you that Houston died this morning. We mourn
his loss and will always carry him in our hearts.
