LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A host of more mature, friendly and fluffy felines needing good homes are offered this week at Lake County Animal Care and Control.
While some of the cats are under a year old, many are older, more relaxed cats, who showed very sweet and mellow personalities during a recent visit.
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”).
