LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Three cats are ready and waiting for new homes at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.

The cats, two males and a female, range in age from 8 months to 5 years.

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.
