California Community Animal Response Teams
Welcome to the Cal CARTs website for information on the
California's Community Animal Response Teams (CARTs).
Leadership & Training Summit 2026 Was A Sold-Out Success!
The Cal CARTs Leadership & Training Summit brought together community animal response team leaders, state agency/organization representatives from the CDFA, Cal OES, CVET, and CalAnimals, and other emergency response partners from across California.
The strong turnout reflects the continued commitment to strengthening animal disaster preparedness, leadership development, and coordinated response efforts throughout California. Attendees participated in valuable training, shared ideas and best practices, and built stronger connections that will support communities and animals when disasters strike.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the summit such a success!

"Our primary mission is to serve as an umbrella organization for CARTs operating in the state of California."
