About COPPERS CAT COMMUNE

Copper's Cat Commune is an operating 501(c)(3) cat sanctuary based in Spring, Texas that provides lifetime care for medically fragile, disabled, senior, and otherwise adoption‑challenged cats while also promoting TNR and feline behavior resources. The organization is volunteer‑driven and led by founders Mimi and Matt Baker; the sanctuary houses up to approximately 100 residents at peak capacity and operates both enclosed indoor/outdoor accommodations and managed feral enclosures (notably "The Burrow"). In recent years the charity has remained active in rescue and medical care (including emergency medical fundraising campaigns), maintained public outreach (site updates, a 2023 video tour and resident profiles), and reported annual revenues in the range of tens of thousands to roughly $100K (recent IRS filings show about $99,900 in revenue for fiscal 2024 and $64,300 in fiscal 2023).
