Purrfect Pals: Waiting kittens and cats

By Elizabeth Larson | Sept. 18, 2017
LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a mix of cats and kittens who are ready for new homes this week.

This week’s featured felines include two that are offered for adoption for free thanks to an anonymous donor.

If you're looking for a new companion, visit the shelter. There are many great pets there, hoping you'll choose them.

For those looking for a barn cat to keep the rodents at bay, be sure to ask about the barn cat adoption program. Feral barn cats are adopted out for $1 each, which includes altering, ear notching and vaccines.

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”).
