WELCOME TO HEARTHSIDE CATS

Hearthside Cats is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Geneseo, New York, 30 miles south of Rochester. We rescue and provide medical care to homeless cats and kittens in our area while striving to promote public awareness and responsible pet ownership. Our wonderful cats are all housed in volunteer foster homes and are available for adoption to homes that guarantee that our cats will be not be declawed and will be indoor only family members. Since 1991, we have helped over 1,500 cats and kittens.

Kitten Appeal 2009

It is that time of year again when we will be taking in a flood of homeless kittens. Although adorable, kittens are expensive to care for, feed, vaccinate, and spay or neuter. We are asking for your help this spring so that we can continue to foster as many kittens as possible on their way to finding loving permanent homes. Click here for more information.

Hearthside Launches "Kitty Kompanions" Program

To expand our service to the community and place more adult cats in loving homes, we are launching a program called "Kitty Kompanions". This program places calm, indoor adult cats with local senior citizens who would enjoy the company of a kitty, without some of the worries and expense that go with pet ownership.
