Purrfect Pals: Valley fire cats ready for new homes

By Elizabeth Larson | Nov. 2, 2015

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control is now offering for adoption cats rescued from the Valley fire area that have not been reclaimed.

Eight cats of varying age are available as the week begins. That's down from the 27 cats that were available when adoptions to the general public began on Oct. 28.

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”).
