Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — Jayne Sage founded Albuquerque’s Street Cat Hub in 2014. The organization traps stray cats, neuters them, and puts them back where they were found. The organization partners with entities including the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, allowing them to perform the services for free. Once a cat is neutered and vaccinated, an ear is clipped so volunteers know the feline is fixed. However, Erin Atkinson, the director of the organization says, that the need currently exceeds what we’re able to attend to. As a result, in the next fiscal year the group is hoping to double its impact. Street Cat Hub recently appeared before Albuquerque City Council to advocate to keep up the funding. The group services 4,000-6,000 cats per year.
