Mallow and Orchid are back. These beautiful siblings were adopted a few months ago, but one member of the family became very allergic to them.

One good outcome of their short stay in a new home is that they are now more relaxed and confident than when they were first in the shelter. They are great cats, about 1 year old, and very affectionate with each other and with people.

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

Go online to see photos and description of all pets at the shelter.

Call (530) 573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
