Cruces Cool Cats has over 75 adoptable cats and dogs - please visit out adoption page for a current roster of cats and dogs in our care. You can volunteer, donate, foster, and visit us for one of our events. Our nonprofit has helped more than 1,500 cats escape homelessness through rescue, Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), sanctuary care, and adoption.

Cruces Cool Cats isn't your typical animal shelter. We've created a home, so instead of spending their days in kennels, our over 35 indoor cats are free to roam, play, climb, nap, and interact in a safe, enriching environment alongside real fish aquariums, real plants, and friendly resident dogs, who help the cats and each other adapt to the sanctuary. This everyday home setting helps the cats and dogs become comfortable with people, cats, and dogs, building the confidence and social skills they need to better thrive in their forever homes.

​​

The over 35 outdoor cats also enjoy a spacious, secure enclosure where they can safely explore, climb, lounge outside in the shade, and socialize with each other while awaiting adoption or placement as working barn cats.

​

All of the over 75 adoptable cats and 4 adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations before adoption, ensuring they're healthy, happy, and ready to become part of a loving family.​​
