Sweetie is a 6-year-old beautiful smoke longhair cat. She is scared at the shelter, but she warms up quickly and loves to sit in laps and purr. She doesn’t mind other well behaved pets, and likes to be brushed. Sweetie is an indoor cat.

Adoption fees for all of the adult cats and two of the dogs at the shelter have been sponsored by a very kind person, so all of these pets are now free to the right home.

Sweetie is spayed, microchipped, tested for FIV, 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. Go to the Tahoe animal shelter’s Facebook page to see photos and descriptions of all pets at the shelter.

Call 530.573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
