Penny is a very sweet, affectionate long-haired cat who is declawed on her front paws. She came to the shelter because her owner’s new grandson is allergic to cats.

Penny is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes.

Call (530) 573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet. For spay-neuter assistance for South Tahoe residents, go online.
