Lake County Animal Care & Control

Wearing jeans on Denim Day has become a worldwide symbol against the misconceptions about sexual violence. Sexual Assault Awareness Month, which occurs each April, is about more than just raising awareness of sexual violence. Our Officer's will be wearing jeans this week to help in those efforts. If you see one of our Officer's within the County please feel free to say hello!

National Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week is celebrated every second full week of April. The week is designed to say thank you and to show appreciation to all the animal control officers who are dedicated to helping pets and people in the community every day. Special shout out to our Officers here in Lake County and across the United States.

On behalf of Animal Care and Control staff I'd like to congratulate our Kennel Coordinator Sara Schramm on 15 years of service. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the animals and citizens of Lake County over the years. We appreciate you.

ATTENTION! - Feline Panleukopenia Outbreak in Nice Area Lake County Animal Care and Control has recently seen a breakout of feline panleukopenia in the area of Pyle Road to Lincoln Street in the Nice area. Feline panleukopenia is a highly infectious disease that can infect all wild and domestic members of the cat population. Infected cats can shed large amounts of the virus in all body secretions including feces, vomit, urine, saliva, and mucus. The primary signs of infection include anorexia, lethargy, profuse watery to bloody diarrhea, and vomiting. Feline panleukopenia requires immediate and aggressive treatment for survival. Infection can be fatal in less than 24 hours. Prevention is vital to protect your cats. We recommend that cat owners in the area contact their veterinarian for specific vaccination recommendations.

We have more positions that have recently opened up! We are looking for both Kennel Assistants and Office Assistants. If you are interested, please stop by and pick up an application. The position is part time. Applications can be picked up our shelter. We are located at 4949 Helbush Dr. in Lakeport. We will take applications until Oct. 16th.

We want to send a huge THANK YOU! to Ever for donating to our shelter. To raise the money, Ever took her time drawing pictures and portraits for people. Ever wanted to help the animals find homes and to stay happy with treats. Ever says when she grows up she wants to help stray animals however she can. Thank you Ever!

Looking for a barn/working cat? We have a few available for adoption now! Please call the shelter at (707) 263-0278 to schedule an appointment. Remember, these cats are less social (feral) and would be perfect for anyone who has property, ag businesses, or just has rodent issues. They are fixed and vaccinated on adoption and leave for just $1!
