“Family Means Everything — and Teaching the Next Generation to Care for Others, Including the Animals, Is Part of That Legacy”
— Jerry Jones
Legendary Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, known for his leadership, philanthropy, and unwavering commitment to family, has made a deeply personal pledge: one million dollars toward the creation of a state-of-the-art cat rescue sanctuary in Texas. But this is more than just a donation. It’s a legacy-building moment shared with someone who means the world to him — his grandchild.

The idea of building a cat sanctuary was born out of shared moments with his grandchild — quiet conversations about kindness, visits to local shelters, and an ever-growing understanding of what it means to care for the voiceless.
“Caring for those who can’t speak for themselves is something we all should do,” Jerry says as he walks the land that will one day house the sanctuary. His grandchild walks beside him, beaming with pride — not because of the scale of the project, but because of what it represents: compassion in action, and a lesson passed down with love.
A Safe Haven in the Heart of Texas
Planned for a peaceful location in Texas, the sanctuary will be a true reflection of the Jones family’s values. Designed with both animals and the community in mind, the facility will feature:
- Cozy indoor spaces for warmth and security
- Expansive outdoor areas for safe roaming and natural enrichment
- Educational programs to engage children, schools, and families in animal care
- Volunteer opportunities that promote community service and empathy
It will be a place where families can come together to give back — just as Jerry and his grandchild are doing now.
More Than Rescue — A Living Legacy
For Jerry, this sanctuary represents more than just a personal passion project. It’s about teaching future generations what it means to lead with heart. “Family means everything,” he says. “And teaching the next generation to care for others — including the animals — is part of that legacy.”
This initiative adds a new chapter to the Jones family’s story, one that reflects not only their love for their team and their state, but their enduring belief in kindness, responsibility, and leading by example.
