LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Five adult cats are offered for adoption at the county’s animal shelter this week.

An orange and a gray tabby, two calicos and a friendly gray cat all are waiting for new homes.

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”).

She has “lynx point” coloring and blue eyes.
