LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – There is a colorful array of cats waiting for adoption this week at the county’s animal shelter.
Tabbies in shades of brown and orange, a lovely Siamese, a handsome tuxedo and gray cat, and a multicolored calico are waiting to meet you.
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.
