Education and Resources

Why Education Matters

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a complex, often silent disease. Many cats show no outward signs until the condition is advanced, and families are frequently left navigating a diagnosis with limited guidance and conflicting information. In a disease with no cure, timely, accurate education can meaningfully change outcomes.

Ezra’s Heart Foundation exists to close the knowledge gap so cat guardians are not left guessing, overwhelmed, or unprepared.

Our Approach

Ezra’s Heart Foundation provides clear, evidence-based information to help better understand feline HCM. Our educational efforts focus on practical guidance that supports informed decision-making at every stage, from prevention and early detection to long-term care.

We prioritize information that is accessible, current, and grounded in veterinary science, while acknowledging the emotional reality families face when caring for a cat with heart disease. Browse educational resouces below.
