LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control is featuring a number of friendly, adoptable cats for adoption this week.
Through Friday, May 11, the county is waiving the county adoption fee, which reduces the overall cost to adopt a cat by $20.
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”).
