LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Three cats are available for adoption this week at the county’s animal shelter.

Two males – one white, one gray – and a female calico are hoping to trade their cages for a more comfortable environment, like your couch.
             
Cats that are adopted from Lake County Animal Care and Control are either neutered or spayed and 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.

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”).
