Mayor Jimmy Davis announced that the City of Bayonne will hold a free rabies vaccination clinic on Saturday, November 8, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, in front of City Hall. The location was moved in 2021 from 16th Street to the City Hall exterior, where the building’s second floor overhang will provide shelter in the event of inclement weather. City Hall is located at 630 Avenue C, between 27th and 28th Streets.

The clinic will handle dogs from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and cats from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The clinic is only for dogs and cats owned by Bayonne residents. The clinic will not vaccinate any other kinds of animals. All animals brought to the clinic must be on a leash and accompanied by an adult who will place the animal on the examination table. All cats must be in pet carriers. Owners must clean up after their animals. A licensed veterinarian will administer the vaccine at no charge. Unleashed animals and pets unaccompanied by adults will not be admitted.

Pets must be four months of age or older to participate in the clinic.

Dog and cat licenses must be renewed by Friday, January 30, 2026. A late fee of $5 will be added to the license fee, beginning Monday, February 2, 2026.

Residents with questions about licenses, rabies, and the clinic should contact the Registrar in the City Clerk’s Office at 201-858-6029.
