Every Cat Deserves a Chance

Imagine being born outside with no food, no shelter, and no one to care for you.

For thousands of stray and feral cats in El Paso, this is reality.

In 2006, Cat Rescue Corporation was founded after volunteers saw an overwhelming number of homeless cats living around the University of Texas at El Paso and the surrounding neighborhoods. They knew something had to be done.

What started as one small group of compassionate people has grown into a lifesaving mission that continues today.

For nearly 20 years, Cat Rescue Corporation has helped reduce the feral cat population through Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) while providing food, shelter, and medical care to cats that have nowhere else to turn.

When a cat is rescued, it is humanely trapped and taken to a veterinarian where it is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and given a full medical evaluation. Cats receive treatment for injuries, infections, and other medical needs before recovering. Once healthy, community cats are returned to the area they know best, preventing thousands of unwanted kittens from being born while allowing them to live healthier lives.

Not every cat returns outside.

Friendly cats and kittens are placed with loving foster families where they receive care, comfort, and a second chance until they find their furr-ever home.

Cat Rescue Corporation does not operate a shelter. Instead, every dollar goes directly toward what matters most:

  • Nutritious food for hungry cats
  • Veterinary care and emergency medical treatment
  • Spay and neuter surgeries
  • Vaccinations and medications
  • Supplies that help volunteers care for cat colonies throughout El Paso

Every day, our volunteers answer calls about abandoned kittens, injured cats, and hungry colonies that depend on us for survival.

But we can’t do it alone,You Can Help Save Lives!

No gift is too small. Every donation helps provide food, medical care, and hope for El Paso’s homeless cats. Together, we can give them the second chance they deserve. 🐾
