From the Office of Animal Control
Who to call if you need help with an animal
in your area
If you have lost or found a pet, or to report an animal hit by
a car, call:
Manchester Police (732)657-2009; 24 hours per day
Animal Control (732)657-2009 ext. 4606; Hours: 8a.m. to
4p.m., Monday to Friday
Ocean County Animal Shelter (732)657-8086, Hours: 1p.m.
to 4p.m. on Wednesdays and open 1p.m. to 6:30p.m. all other
days including Saturday and Sunday.
We work hand in hand to reunite owners with their pets.
If you are having issues with wildlife:
Call NJ Fish and Wildlife (609)259-2132;
Hours: 9a.m. to 4p.m. Monday to Friday.
If you have a bat or other wildlife in your
living space, call Police or Animal Control at the telephone
number above.
If wildlife is in the attic or crawl space, a pest removal service
needs to be called. They can be found online or in your phone
book’s yellow pages.
Hints on getting raccoons and squirrels out of your attic:
Place a light and a radio in the attic for a couple of days. If
they have babies they will move them out. You also need to find
how they got in and repair it.
For ground hogs, you can keep filling in the hole and add
some brick in the hole. Put dirt back in the hole. This will
cause them to move.
Mothballs are not to be
used on the ground. You
could be fined by the EPA.
Lowe’s, Home Depot
and local hardware/garden
centers sell deterrents for
all kinds of wildlife.
For birds, if the mother
and father bird are calling out to the baby bird, LEAVE IT. They
are still feeding it. By the third day, it will have learned to fly.
For deer hit by a car, whether still alive or deceased, police
should be called. They will contact the responsible agency to
handle removal.

Animal control only deals with sick/injured wildlife and
abandoned wildlife.
For feral cats, we now have a TNR ordinance (Trap, Neuter,
Return). All healthy adult cats are spayed, neutered and
returned. All kittens and sick or injured cats will be removed.
You are only allowed to feed feral cats if they are in our TNR
program. To get in this awesome new program, call animal
control to be placed on our list. Please leave a message.
Messages are checked each day.
