Animal Care and Control offers holiday cat adoption discount thanks to donation

By Elizabeth Larson | Dec. 12, 2016

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The generous support of a sponsor seeking to encourage cat adoptions at the holidays has resulted in Lake County Animal Care and Control offering a significantly discounted rate to people who want to add a new pet to their family.

Animal Care and Control Director Bill Davidson said a donation from animal advocate Victoria Garcia-Shipley has allowed his agency to offer the nine adult cats it has for adoption for $10 each.

Davidson said the cats that are adopted will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Potential adopters must still submit applications, be screened and approved, Davidson said.

Davidson said the special will be offered until all of nine cats are adopted.

The available cats, their information and pictures is shown below.
