LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Lake County Animal Care and Control said Monday that it is putting some of its programs temporarily on hold until further notice.

The agency said the decision specifically involves its community cat program and vaccination clinics.

“We'd like to thank the community for their understanding during this time,” Lake County Animal Care and Control said in a Facebook announcement.

Asked about the reasons for the decision, Lake County Animal Care and Control Director Jonathan Armas responded in an email, “I currently cannot comment on the situation placing the specified services on hold. I will provide an update as soon as possible.”

Armas added, “We are currently working to resume services as soon as possible. VIP Pet Care still provides vaccinations on a rotating schedule throughout the county. Spay/Neuter services are still offered at all local vet offices and the SPCA of Lake County has limited services as well.”

SPCA of Lake County provides spay/neuter and vaccination clinics. Visit the organization’s website for more information.
