Dennis is one of several adorable kittens looking for a new family. He is as sweet and playful as you can imagine.

The shelter is continuing its kitten and adult cat special adoption program – adoption fees through August are half price, so only $40.

Dennis is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He 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.
