Animal Control
|
Tompkins County Animal Control (TCAC) is a division of the SPCA of Tompkins County. Several local municipalities have contracted (hired) TCAC to provide animal control services. In our service areas, TCAC officers will respond to calls regarding stray dogs, injured stray cats and will work with members of the public to resolve "nuisance" complaints (barking, etc.). Although TCAC has not been contracted to provide animal control services in every municipality in the county, TCAC will respond to reports of abuse, cruelty or neglect of any animal anywhere in Tompkins County. Here is a brief outline of what TCAC does and does not do:

"Franny, whose name is now Bailey Ireland has brought us so much joy and, I must say, has eaten a lot of flip flops!!! LOL. But as you can see, she has made herself right to home and even has her own spot on our bed. Thank you for all the smiles and giggles Bailey is giving us."
Love,
Kelly and family
