LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Kittens and more mature cats are waiting for new families at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.
The five cats ready for adoption as the week begins range in age from 9 weeks to 5 years, and all have been spayed or neutered so they can go immediately to new homes.
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 here: http://bit.ly/Z6xHMb .
