For a limited time, the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Placerville is offering $20 adoptions for adult cats now at the shelter to make room for the anticipated increase in felines.

Spring is traditionally the busiest time of the year, with lots of kittens coming into the shelter.

The limited-time $20 adoption fee for adult cats at the Placerville shelter includes a veterinary check, needed vaccinations, microchip, and spay or neuter.

Animal Services is able to offer the significant reduction in the adoption fee (normally $80) through the assistance of the local nonprofit organization People for Animal Welfare in El Dorado County (PAWED).

The shelter is located at 511 Placerville Drive in Placerville and is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30am-noon and 1-4:30pm.

Pictures and information about the cats available for adoption may be found online.
