Blotter and Stone are two nice older cats whose owner could no longer look after them. They would like to be adopted together to a home without other cats, but they like children and would tolerate a well mannered dog.

They are both fit and healthy (Blotter has a scratch on his nose that is almost healed) and like to play. Their adoption has been sponsored so the fee is only $40 for both of them.

Blotter and Stone are 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.

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