Minterland is a non-profit organization, dedicated to creating a sanctuary for lost cats and dogs, located in Texas. Minterland is a brand-new organization, but can trace its origins to 2019, when our founder, Shannon Minter, found a stray kitten on Halloween morning … and then found a stray puppy that afternoon! Shannon posted this to his Twitter account, and, as a result, went viral.
Squeaky the Kitten and Albert the Puppy were adopted by the Minters, but the Cat and Dog Distribution Systems weren’t done with them. Over the last few years the Minters have rescued many more lost kitties and pups, and along the way, something magical happened.
A community was born – a community that cares deeply about companion animals and each other. A community that came together to help the Minters when their home was struck by a tornado in 2023.
And now this community has come together to make the dream of Minterland, a sanctuary for kitties and pups, a reality.
Welcome to Minterland.
