Purrfect Pals: Tabbies, torties and torbies

By Elizabeth Larson | Aug. 1, 2016

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – There are several colorful cats and kittens awaiting homes at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.

Cats available include domestic short hair and long hair mixes, with orange, brown and gray tabby coats, and torbie and tortie kittens.

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 at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Directory/Animal_Care_And_Control/Shelter_Animal_Search.htm .

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”).
