LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has two cats ready for adoption this week.

One male and one female tabby both are in need of new homes.

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.
