PARIS — Buttercup is the featured Pet of the Week at Responsible Pet Care of Oxford Hills.

Buttercup is a 7-year-old calico cutie. She’s a sweet cat that would flourish in the home of an older person who wants the companionship of a cat. A quiet cat, Buttercup, prefers living in a home without dogs. She is ready to bring you sweetness and spice up your life.

Responsible Pet Care of Oxford Hills is a no-kill, nonprofit shelter and adoption center for cats and dogs, and the holding area for stray dogs for 12 towns in Oxford County. The shelter is located at 9 Swallow Road.

Anyone interested in adopting a pet from RPC can visit the shelter as follows: Monday and Tuesday, closed; Wednesday and Thursday, noon to 4 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, noon to 5 p.m.; Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.

Most of the adoptable pets and the adoption application can be found online on the shelter’s website at www.responsiblepetcare.org.

Responsible Pet Care operates a thrift shop called Pawsibilities. It is located at 132 Waterford Road in Norway, and is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations of clean, usable household items are accepted during shop hours. All the money raised at Pawsibilities supports RPC.

For more information about adopting or fostering a pet, or to make an inquiry about a lost animal, call RPC after noon at 207-743-8679.
