Cruces Cool Cats was founded in 2020 by Selina Cardoza in response to the growing number of homeless and feral cats in our community. What began with helping cats from hoarding situations and providing TNR services grew into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill rescue and sanctuary serving Doña Ana County. Since then, Cruces Cool Cats has helped more than 1,500 cats through rescue, TNR, sanctuary care, and adoption - all with the support of volunteers, donors, adopters, fosters, and a community that believes every cat deserves a chance. Cruces Cool Cats currently 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.
