Purrfect Pals: A full house of kittens

By Elizabeth Larson | Jul 7, 2014

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control continues to have a large number of kittens needing their first and forever homes.

The kittens are as young as 10 weeks up to 16 weeks, with the shelter also having an adult female cat ready 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.

In addition to the animals featured here, all adoptable animals in Lake County can be seen here: http://bit.ly/Z6xHMb .

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”).
