Cat adoption fee reduced in El Dorado County

El Dorado County Animal Services is temporarily reducing the adoption fee to half price for kittens and cats due to an unusually late kitten season and a recent surge in the number of felines at its shelters. The fee to adopt a cat or kitten, which is normally $80, will be reduced to $40 through Sept. 30.

Adoptable felines are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and have a microchip. The kittens are also litter box trained and socialized.

The animal shelters are located at 1120 Shakori Drive in South Lake Tahoe and 511 Placerville Drive in Placerville. They are open Monday through Saturday from 9:30am-noon and 1-4:30pm.

Pictures of adoptable pets can be found online via Animal Services’ website.
