Mission Statement
Street Cat HUB’s mission is to serve the city of Albuquerque and surrounding areas with the spay and neuter of free roaming cats.
Description
Street Cat HUB’s founder and current Board President, Jayne Sage, began trapping community cats in her neighborhood in 2001. She started a trap loan program in 2009 to expand services beyond her immediate area. The main focus of our organization remains feral cat and colony population control using humane alternatives to euthanasia, such as TNR (trap, neuter & return). Street Cat Hub also offers free and low-cost spay and neuter for owned cats of Albuquerque. We're always looking for volunteers to help keep our clinic running, from assisting with keeping our facility clean up all the way up to surgical veterinarians.
