 On Friday, Animal Humane New Mexico rescued 27 cats and kittens from Las Vegas after flooding caused a water crisis in the city. This in addition to the recovery of 59 homeless cats and dogs in Ruedoso, where the South Fork and Salt wildfires are burning. To help conserve water for the pets and the people of Las Vegas, the shelter transferred all cats and kittens at the Las Vegas Animal Care Center to Animal Humane's main campus shelter here in Albuquerque.
