San Andreas, CA… Meet Lindsay, a lovely shorthaired dilute Tortie estimated to be about eight years of age. Yes, you’ve seen this sweet girl before but she’s been at the shelter for weeks and still looking for her forever home. With enormous green eyes and a calm, quiet personality, Lindsay is very affectionate and enjoys being petted and brushed. She was found wandering near a busy highway and has a microchip, but her owner cannot be found. Although Lindsay loves people, she does not care for the company of other cats. We feel she would do best where she is the only feline and can be the adored queen of the household. And should you be over the age of 55, her adoption fee is only $5.00.

As with all cats available for adoption, Lindsay is up-to-date on her routine vaccinations and has been micro-chipped. Already spayed, she is able to go home with you today!

Come visit Lindsay, impound no. AO51870, along with other cats and dogs awaiting their forever homes at Calaveras County Animal Services, 901 Jeff Tuttle Drive, San Andreas (in government center by the new jail). Animal Services is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday – Saturday (closed for lunch from 1-2 p.m.). For more information about this kitty, please email Animal Services volunteer Cynthia at clpino@caltel.com, Kathy at kbandy.co.calaveras.ca.us or call Animal Services directly at 754-6509. Please refer to Lindsay’s impound number when making inquiries.

Currently, the Calaveras shelter remains open for visitors wishing to adopt. We are, however, limiting viewing to one person at a time in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Please understand there may be a wait for you to view the shelter animals, many of which still await their forever homes during this pandemic. Adoptable animals may also be viewed on the web at http://animal.calaverasgov.us/Adoptions and on the Calaveras County Animal Services Facebook page.

Volunteers are very much needed as well. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, we would value your help caring for shelter animals or in the office. No experience necessary; we will provide training and match you to your interests. Please call 754-6509 for more information.
Animal Services now has a Fee Flexibility Program!
When the dog or cat population at the shelter is at 80% or above capacity, the total adoption fee will be 50% off––reduced to $40 for dogs and $30 for cats. The adoption fee for cats who arrive at the shelter already altered will be $10. With the 55-5-5 Program, any time an adopter is 55 or older and adopts any pet over 5 years old, the adoption fee is $5.
