Looking for a sweet family pet? For a limited time, El Dorado County Animal Services has lowered its adoption fee for adult cats at its shelters in Diamond Springs and South Lake Tahoe. Adult cats over the age of one year can be adopted at either shelter for only $20 through the end of July 2018.
All adoptable cats at the shelters are spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, tested for leukemia and given a health exam. "The $20 adoption fee covers everything," said Henry Brzezinski, Chief of El Dorado County Animal Services. "We currently have lots of wonderful adult cats of all ages, breeds, colors and coats."
The Animal Services shelter in Diamond Springs is located at 6435 Capitol Avenue and is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The shelter in South Lake Tahoe is located at 1120 Shakori Drive and is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to noon and 1:00 to 4:30 p.m.
Animal Services has additional information, including pictures of adoptable animals, on its website at www.edcgov.us/animalservices. The shelters may be reached by phone at (530) 621-5795 in Diamond Springs or (530) 573-7925 in South Lake Tahoe.
