About TEXAS COMPANION ANIMAL RESOURCE & EDUCATION SOCIETY

Texas CARES (Texas Companion Animal Resource & Education Society) is a volunteer-run, foster-based cat rescue incorporated June 22, 1993. The organization's EIN (75-2489842) is publicly listed on its About page and aligns with multiple nonprofit registries and funder records. Texas CARES rescues cats and kittens from municipal shelters across the Dallas–Fort Worth area, provides intake veterinary care (testing, vaccinations, microchipping, spay/neuter or vouchers), places animals in foster homes, and runs regular weekend adoption events at retail partners. The group is donor-facing and relies on private donations and seasonal/community fundraisers (including participation in North Texas Giving Day) to cover veterinary and operating costs. The organization maintains an active web presence (adoption listings, donation portals, event photos through 2026) and a volunteer structure that supports intake, fostering, adoption coordination, and fundraising, indicating ongoing, active operations serving the DFW region.
