LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The county’s animal shelter has several young cats and more mature felines awaiting adoption this week.
All of the handsomely striped felines have had their shots and nearly all have been either spayed or neutered in order to prepare them for new homes.
They also 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.
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”).
