Corpus Christi Animal Care Services (CCACS) now offers online pet registration.
All dogs and cats residing inside city limits of Corpus Christi must be registered and microchipped. To register a pet, the owner must fill out a short form online or at CCACS once the pet has been microchipped. ACS has placed an online form to speed up that process so the owner can fill it out at home or on any internet-connected device.
Animal Care Services wants to remind residents that all cats and dogs must be registered with the City and microchipped. CCACS is still offering free microchipping Monday through Friday from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. no appointment is necessary.
To access the registration form, please visit www.cctexas.com/ccacs.
The microchip device is approximately the size of a grain of rice. The insertion procedure is quick and painless. Unlike tags, microchips are not easily removed, making it difficult for someone to try and reclaim pets that are not their own.
The information on the chip can always be updated if the pet changes addresses or legal ownership.
