Purrfect Pals: Kittens and young cats

By Elizabeth Larson | Sept. 18, 2012

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – It’s still a busy season for kittens at the county’s animal shelter.

Several kittens and young cats are being offered for adoption this week.

Cats that are adopted from Lake County Animal Care and Control are either neutered or spayed and microchipped before being released to their new owner. License fees do not apply to residents of the cities of Lakeport or Clearlake.

If you're looking for a new companion, visit the shelter. There are many great pets there, hoping you'll choose them.
