Purrfect Pals: Young cats ready for adoption

By Elizabeth Larson | Oct. 7, 2013

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a number of young cats and kittens awaiting new homes.

The cats range in age from 9 weeks to 2 years old, and include tabbies and tuxedos.

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”).
