Jayne Sage, Founder & Executive Director, Street Cat Hub

Jayne Sage began doing TNR when she moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico around 2002. After TNRing over 70 cats in her own neighborhood, she began looking for ways to help in other areas of the city and before long, she was a major advocate for TNR citywide. In this episode, Jayne and Stacy discuss how TNR advocates, working in conjunction with the city of Albuquerque, were able to decrease the city's feline euthanasia rate by 99% between 2009 and 2017. Some of this was accomplished through Best Friend Animal Society's community cat program, where Jayne worked for several years. After the program ended, she went on to found Street Cat Hub to continue the program's work. To learn more, visit Street Cat Hub's websiteor email them at [email protected].
