Driving research to improve understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of feline HCM

Our Approach

At Ezra’s Heart Foundation, we believe that every cat with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) deserves not only care but also a future shaped by better understanding and treatments. Scientific research is the foundation for progress, improving early detection, refining treatment options, and ultimately saving lives.

While EHF is currently focused on providing direct support to cats and their families through financial assistance and education, research funding is a core part of our mission. We are laying the groundwork to support high-impact studies that address critical knowledge gaps in feline HCM, including:

  • Development of more effective early screening and diagnostic tools

  • Investigation of disease progression and risk factors

  • Exploration of innovative therapies to improve outcomes

Launching research support is a strategic next phase for EHF, and we are actively planning the partnerships, review processes, and funding structures that will ensure these investments make a meaningful difference.

Join Us in Advancing Knowledge


By supporting EHF today, you are helping build the foundation for tomorrow’s breakthroughs in feline heart health. Together, we can ensure that every cat has access to the care they need and the innovations that could transform the future of HCM management.
