Kaufman County Cats, Inc. is forming to provide a no-kill, nonprofit haven for homeless cats and kittens.
Animal advocates Lynn Ackerman, Sharon Cruz and Linda Raflowiotz will serve as directors of the new group. The trio already completed Texas State Incorporation and the Federal 501 (c) (3) status is pending approval.
The volunteer "cat team" has worked for three years to find homes for cats and kittens taken in by the Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake animal shelter in Tool. They adopted out 274 felines in 2014.
The volunteers maintain adoption centers at T-Bar-T Feed Store on State Highway 175 East in Kaufman and at Tyler PetSmart. They hope to open a third location in 2015.
The volunteers are seeking members for Kaufman County, Inc. to help support the care of homeless cats and kittens.
Traditional animal shelters across the country are overloaded with homeless pets and forced to euthanize those that are not adopted speedily. No-kill shelters protect and provide care for homeless animals indefinitely.
Animal shelters depend upon donations to fund their operations.
