What happens to the animals picked up by Animal Control?
State law requires any animal that is picked up be held for 7 days-this enables the ACO to watch the animal to make sure it is not carring any diseases, and allows the owner to report the animal missing. If the animal is not claimed, the animal is placed into a Humane Society or Breed rescue, we try and deal with all no kill shelters. Animal Control has been working with Purr-fect Cat Shelter for 16 years and they have taken in and placed over 1,200 cats/ kittens for us-they are a no kill shelter
What is considered an EMERGENCY?
An animal bite or attack, a domestic animal hit by a car-where no owner is present, bats in living quarters of houses, a sick or injured wild animal, if the reporting party is holding a stray dog.
My cat never goes outside, why does it need a rabies vaccine
Even though the cat may never go outside there is a chance that an animal could get into your house, ie. a bat, squirrel, raccoon etc. these animals CAN carry the rabies virus, an unvaccinated cat or dog for that mattter, that is exposed to rabies will either have to be euthanized (at the State's urging) or be placed in a isolation quaratine for 3 months then a strict confinement quarantine for another 3 months. Also, rabies vaccines are a mandatory State law for dogs, cats and ferrets over 12 weeks of age.
