Purrfect Pals: A wide range of cats and kittens

By Elizabeth Larson | Jul 15, 2013

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – More kittens and cats are waiting for new homes this week at the county’s animal shelter.

They range in age from 15 weeks to 3 years, and all have been spayed or neutered in preparation for adoption.

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”).
