Purrfect Pals: Tabbies of all types

By Elizabeth Larson | Nov. 12, 2012

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County animal shelter has a full house of wonderful cats of all ages and varieties – mostly tabbies – ready for new homes this week.

All of them have been spayed or neutered, have had their shots and are ready to join your home.

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.

The following cats at the Lake County Animal Care and Control shelter have been cleared for adoption (other cats pictured on the animal control Web site that are not listed here are still “on hold”).
