Animal Control

Animal Control and Licensing for Cathedral City (and other participating cities in the valley) is now a function of the Coachella Valley Animal Campus.

This new state-of-the-art facility, in Thousand Palms was initiated by the Coachella Valley Assocition of Governments (CVAG) and Animal Samaritans SPCA.

You can still get your animal license at City Hall. For renewals, please provide a current rabies certificate. For a new license you will need to provide a spay or neuter certificate, as well.
