Heartprints Animal Rescue, Inc.
A 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization

Our story began when two volunteers came together at the Noble Animal Shelter, to help the cats, who had no advocate or rescue group to help them. The first step was to get all the cats currently in the shelter, out. Sadly, some of them had been in there for months. The shelter was small, noisy and the cat cages were in very bad shape. Then, feral cats came in to the shelter and we had to quickly learn how to do the “TNR” process of “Trapping, Neutering and Returning” to a colony or re-homing to a barn. Fortunately, we found an amazing woman who ended up taking three feral/stray cats to share her large modern barn with her horses, on a beautiful country acreage. So, this is how our rescue group has evolved...one need and solution, at a time.

We found many more angel rescuers along the way that have graciously volunteered their time to consult, foster, donate or simply cheerlead us on. This includes our current compassionate and hardworking “board”, who continuously offer their expertise on many areas pertinent to our rescue efforts.

Finally, we expanded our scope of services to include dogs in the shelter, TNR, and community animals (as resources permit). We are grateful for any help/support you can give and welcome you to share your gifts with us. In this way we can all work together to offer loving kindness to each other and the animals in the Noble community!
