Purrfect Pals: Time for new homes

By Elizabeth Larson | Mar 18, 2013

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The county’s animal shelter has several adult cats available for adoption this week.

The cats range in age from 1 year to 5 years of age, and have had their shots, with most altered and ready to leave for new homes.

In addition to spaying or neutering, cats that are adopted from Lake County Animal Care and Control are 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”).
