Our Mission
The main focus of Street Cat HUB is feral cat and colony population control using humane alternatives to euthanasia, such as TNR (trap, neuter & return). 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. In 2012, Best Friends provided funding for a startup program based out of Jayne’s property, and by design, Best Friends exited the program in 2014.
Street Cat HUB’s mission is to serve the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County with the spay and neuter of free-roaming cats.
Street cat Hub was founded on August 5, 2014, with a mission to serve the city of Albuquerque and surrounding areas with the spay and neuter of free-roaming feral and community cats. Street Cat Hub is contracted with the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County to provide trapping, spay/neuter, and return to field services to any free-roaming cat in these areas and provides these services to out-of-area cats as often as funding allows. The organization provides services for between 3,000 and 4,000 cats annually, and the TNR program has resulted in a reduction in cat euthanasia numbers at our city shelter from 7,225 in 2009 to 288 in 2019. Street Cat Hub also diverts about 20% of trapped cats to adoption outcomes through strategic transfers to partner shelters and rescues.
