It’s fall kitten season and kittens are piling up at Responsible Pet Care faster than the leave are falling from the trees.

During the Covid pandemic there has been increased interest in pet adoptions. The number of cat and dog adoptions at Responsible Pet Care has grown over previous years. People are particularly interested in adopting kittens.

This is a good time to adopt a kitten because the fall litters are now old enough to leave the shelter.

Kittens are spayed or neutered  when they are twelve weeks old. All kittens also receive distemper and rabies vaccinations, treatments for parasites and testing for feline diseases. All they require is a loving home.

If you are interested in adopting a kitten you can call the shelter to make an appointment for a private showing.

Responsible Pet Care of Oxford Hills is a no-kill, non-profit 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 in Paris.
