Lenny is incredibly active, talkative, an amazing mouser/hunter, and affectionate. However, his affections can quickly turn to overstimulated nibbles and grabs. This is the type of cat who needs to be exercised and played with, with cat wands to keep your hands scratch and nibble free.

Additionally, Lenny loathes other cats. Period. At this time, Lenny lives in the outside enclosed catio at the shelter to give him ample space to climb and exercise while also keeping him away from other cats. He truly goes into hunt mode around other felines and it would be in a person’s best interest to stay clear of him when he gets in this zone.

His ideal home will be with cat knowledgeable adults. His intense personality and temperament is too much to pair with children. Lenny would also do well in a barn or shop to keep mouse populations in check, while simultaneously making sure no other cats encroach on his territory.

Lenny is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, and Leukemia tested negative. If interested in meeting or learning more about Lenny, please contact the Lassen County Animal Shelter at 1.530.257.9200.

Featured animals at the Lassen County Animal Shelter are available for adoption on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Current shelter hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. Closed Saturday and Sunday. You can contact the shelter at 1.530.257.9200.

Lassen County Fishing is Good

May 13, 1930

Anglers from various sections of Lassen county reported general success from week-end fishing excursions.

Ideal weather and fishing conditions, the first since the opening of the present season, prevailed throughout the county Saturday, Sunday and Monday and many large catches were reported.

H. Lindner of Susanville hauled in the largest of the season to date Sunday from the depths of Lake Almanor. The Lindner catch, running to the lawful limit, included one denizen of the deep which toppled the scales at more than nine pounds.

Various other large catches were reported.
