The mission of Corpus Christi Animal Care Services (CCACS) & Vector Control is to promote a new perspective on animal welfare & vector control; address the needs of our community, improve the quality of life for our animals, and encourage a culture of compassion.
CCACS strives to provide a healthy and safe environment for strays, unwanted or homeless animals as well as injured animals brought to our shelter. Our veterinarian and staff conduct health evaluations, vaccinations and spay or neutering to have these furry friends find their forever homes. All activities are in compliance with state, federal and local laws and regulations.
Our Vector Control at CCACS maintains a plan to reduce the spread of mosquitos in our community and reduce the chances of vector-borne diseases.
