Purrfect Pals: Calicoes and tabbies
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a large selection of cats this week ready for adoption.
The eight adult cats – three males and five females – come in a variety of coat types and colors, and some already are altered, meaning they are available for low adoption fees.
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 .
