About Us

Tucked away in the piney woods of southeast Texas, Copper's Cat Commune is a nonprofit cat sanctuary dedicated to the lifetime care of a limited population of ill, disabled, immune compromised, senior, or otherwise adoption challenged cats. Outside of the sanctuary we promote Trap Neuter Return (TNR) as the most humane and effective method of managing community cat populations. Additionally, we provide information and resources on TNR, spay/neuter programs, and feline behavior to help more cats stay in their original homes.

While all our cats enjoy the luxury of a safe indoor life, they also have access to enclosed outdoor areas where they can enjoy watching the birds, sunbathing, and bug hunting. We are constantly changing and adapting to suit the needs of our population. All outdoor cat photos on the site are shot in safe, enclosed areas unless otherwise specified - such as TNR colonies.

Who We Are

Matt and Mimi Baker head up the insanity that is living with up to 100 cats. With a strong support team helping with everything from scooping boxes to building enclosures, website work and graphic design, they manage to keep all the cat plates spinning. Mimi is a full-time veterinary technician, feline behaviorist, and certified pet nutritionist. Her connections provide many cost benefits to the Commune. Matt works outside the Commune, but also volunteers his time extensively and remains a favorite of all the cats. While Mimi, Matt and our volunteers keep the Commune running day to day the success of our mission depends on the support of our passionate community of cat enthusiasts and donors. Please consider sponsoring one of our residents or making a one time donation to the Commune.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do they all have names?

Of course!

How do you remember them all?

We just do. Remember in most cases each cat is introduced one at a time, so we get to know them individually quite well.

How do you handle everything?

With a lot of work and phenomenal volunteers. We couldn't do it without them.

How do you pay for all that?

We can’t do it alone. Our fabulous donors keep the lights on and the food bowls full, but in rescue, tomorrow is never guaranteed. Can you give a Commune Cat another day of their best life? Donate here or explore other ways you can help.
