Shelter FAQs

The California City Animal Shelter does not get much exposure and because it is in a rural area, walk-ins are rare. For the past few years, a very small handful of volunteers have teamed up with the shelter/animal control personnel to help keep the facility clean, get animals seen via various social media sites and transport. ADDRESS: 5000 Lindbergh (if viewing on Google maps, address may show as 22512 Curtis Place), California City CA 93505 (located near the Cal City Airport) SHELTER VIEWING HOURS: 8-2 daily, Saturday by prior appointment, closed holidays). PHONE: 760-373-1115 (Shelter) or 760-373-8606 and ask for Animal Control (this is the best way to contact the Animal Control Officer) ANIMAL CONTROL: 7 am to 3 pm Daily PHONE: 760-373-8606 (ask for Animal Control) There is a continual need for: pine-sol, bleach, laundry detergent, dish soap, mop heads (cleaning supplies) and tri-fold paper towels.
California City Animal Shelter is a city shelter run the Police Department. It is staffed by 1 full time animal control officer, 1 part time kennel worker and a few volunteers. The shelter has 18 dog kennels and 14 cat cages. The city is 203.6 sq miles mostly open desert and has become, unfortunately a dumping ground. This shelter/animal control only serves the California City area. This shelter does not take pets from surrounding areas, only California City city limits. Out of area adoptions/rescues are okay. Our shelter is located in a very rural area with limited foot traffic.
