Don’t let Cassius’ rugged appearance fool you. Deep down he is a lover boy.

Seven-year-old Cassius looked like he had many stories to tell about his life on the streets when he arrived at Responsible Pet Care. He had some scratches and notches in his ears. He is the complete opposite of what you might expect.

Cassius loves to get visitors. If they stop to say hello and rub his head he rolls over and closes his eyes to enjoy the love. He will love being cared for in his forever home.

If you like big cats with soft hearts, then you should visit Cassius. He’ll be at Responsible Pet Care waiting to have his head rubbed.

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 answers to questions about adopting or fostering a pet, or to make an inquiry about a lost animal, call RPC after noon at 743-8679.
