Your ideal cat might be one that sits on your lap and purrs. Someone else might like the idea of a cat that can handle anything.

Meet Nemo. He’s a two year old that can hold his own against anything that comes his way. He likes to play and can be touched, but when he’s had enough he reaches out with a swat. It’s his ball and his rules.

If you need a cat that can join in the chaos of the kids and the dog, stop looking for Nemo. You can find him at Responsible Pet Care.

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.

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.
