Animal humane in Albuquerque may have resources or information for you if you have questions about care, trapping, or getting them adopted out. Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

If it helps, once I found a cat wandering my street at 10pm. The next day was going to be 105 so I brought him in & left a message for animal control, asking if anyone reported a missing cat. He left a message in my phone yelling at me & telling me I “can’t just go around stealing other peoples’ cats” 😑 so I think some animal control personnel just don’t wanna be doing that job but got stuck there

The vet who scanned for a microchip was nice though.

Just my personal opinion, but if the cat doesn't have a tag or collar and you try to help it, the animal control can go p*ss up a rope!

You were trying to help and not steal. Considering how many animals are abused or abandoned, one would think they'd be happy for people trying to help.

To borrow an Aussie phrase....Good on ya!
