LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Four friendly cats are waiting to meet you at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.
Claudia, George, Oscar and Zack are waiting at the shelter for the opportunity to have new families and homes where they can play and be loved.
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 .
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”).
'Zack'
“Zack” is a 4-year-old male domestic short hair mix, with a brown and white coat.
Shelter staff said he was found as a stray in Kelseyville. He's very friendly and personable, and loves to play with toys.
He's been neutered, and given a rabies and FVRCP vaccination good for one year.
Zack is in cat room kennel No. 48, ID No. 1364.
'Claudia'
The lovely and sweet Claudia has been at Lake County Animal Care and Control a long time, and needs a home as soon as possible.
She is 6 years old, and a coat with white and brown tabby markings, and is already spayed so she has a low adoption fee.
Claudia greets visitors, loving to get attention and pats. She loves to play with toys and to be cuddled.
She's in cat room kennel No. 73, ID No. 1316.
'George'
“George” is a male domestic short hair mix with an all almost entirely black coat and a white mark on his chest.
He is 3 years old and already neutered, so he has a low adoption fee.
George is a talker who wants to be out of his cage to play and visit with everyone.
Shelter staff said he will grab your attention, not just by his handsome gold eyes, but by coming to the front of the cage in the hope he will get a pat.
George needs a home to where he can explore in a safe environment, according to shelter staff.
He's in cat room kennel No. 79, ID No. 1605.
'Oscar'
This young black cat with a short black coat has been dubbed “Oscar” by shelter staff.
This super-friendly kitty is 9 months old, and wanted to be petted constantly.
He has a lot of years ahead of him and would love to spend it with one person or a family.
Come give Oscar a treat or a toy – he likes both, according to shelter staff.
Oscar is in cat room kennel No. 99, ID No. 1618.
