The Albany County Animal Abuser Registry was created in 2011 by an act of the Albany County Legislature known as Local Law K. The registry is hosted by the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society as a service to the public. Anyone convicted of animal cruelty in Albany County after January of 2012 is required to submit information to the Albany County Sheriff's Department. That information is transmitted to MHHS and posted here. The registry is not retroactive. Convictions prior to the establishment of the registry will not be listed, therefore this is not a comprehensive historical list of all people convicted of animal abuse in Albany County. The information listed here has been supplied by convicted offenders to the Albany County Sheriff and the MHHS does not guarantee accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the information contained on the website. Offenders are required to update their information annually. It is possible that information obtained through this website may not reflect current residences of individuals on the registry.

Any individual who believes that information contained in the registry is not accurate should contact MHHS. Offenders who need to update their own information must do so with the Albany County Sheriff's Department. Anyone selling, giving away or adopting an animal to another person in Albany County must check the registry prior to any change in ownership. Giving, selling or adopting an animal to a person on the registry is a violation of county law.

Links to Rabbit Ownership Information FIV, FECV, and FIP links  (Links will open in a separate window) Sometimes we list cats and state that they have tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) or FECV (Feline Enteric Corona Virus). These cats can live long happy lives, though we suggest they be indoor only cats. FIV cannot be passed easily between cats. The virus can be spread through blood transfusions, badly infected gums, or serious, penetrating bite wounds.

(Bite wounds of this kind are extremely rare, except in free-roaming, unneutered tomcats.) FECV (Feline Enteric Corona Virus) is benign, but can mutate into the much more serious FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). FECV is extremely common, particularly in homes with multiple cats. It can be passed through the feces and sometimes saliva.
