Mandarin's Retreat

EL PASO, TX

We run a cat hospice for ill, old, disabled, abandoned, and rejected cats in El Paso, TX. We run through cat trees and scratchers like nobody's business as most of our cats have a free run through the facility. We are also the only FeLV+ cat facility in the area. We are a 501.c(3) organization since July 2023 and are a 2026 Platinum Seal owner from Candid. Our annual budget runs to about $75,000 with over half of the budget going to vet costs. All IRS data and budgets are posted on our website.
