Hearts United for Animals (HUA) (hua.org), a Smithsonian Award–winning, state-of the-art no-kill shelter and sanctuary, continues its mission of relieving the suffering of domestic animals through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption.
Over the years, HUA has rescued more than 28,000 dogs from puppy mills, provided low-cost spay and neuter services for over 25,000 pets, and placed thousands of cats and dogs into loving homes across the country. The organization also provides temporary housing for pets of families fleeing domestic violence and offers its Proud Pets Program, which provides free veterinary care for the beloved pets of previously homeless veterans.
HUA responded to an urgent situation involving dozens of indoor cats abandoned at a carwash in Nebraska City following a severe hoarding case. The frightened cats, unfamiliar with the outdoors, were at serious risk.
Despite no additional space, HUA caregivers quickly stepped in to safely capture and care for the animals. Two cats gave birth after arriving at the shelter, and all have since received full veterinary care. Today, the cats and kittens are healthy, safe, and many have already been adopted into loving homes.
Rescues like this are only possible thanks to the support of the community. To learn more about supporting the lifesaving work of Hearts United for Animals, visit hua.org or call (402) 274-3679.
