Our Mission
Street Cat Hub’s Mission is to Provide Accessible, Humane and Effective Population Control of Community Cats Through 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.
Trap-Neuter-Return is the ONLY method proven to be both Humane and Effective in addressing population control of free-roaming community 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 partners with the City of Albuquerque, Bernalillo County and the Town of Bernalillo to provide TNR services to any free-roaming cat in these areas. Municipal funding supports just over half of the 6,000 cats through our program each year, with the remainder of funds coming from individual donors, grants, and corporate sponsorships. The TNR program has contributed to a significant reduction in cat euthanasia in City shelters, which experienced a 97% reduction between 2009 and 2019.
