My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Say hello to Poach. She is an adorable kitten who is a little shy at first, but once you get to know her, she is super sweet. She is still working on her social skills, but she warms up more and more every day.  She is like a shy sunrise, gentle at first, then suddenly full of warmth. She is slowly discovering the world around her and gaining her confidence. She has an eye injury, and her eye will be removed when she gets a little older.  She is a gentle soul who, with a little bit of time, will bloom into a beautiful companion. Bringing Poach into your home, you will be gifted with a shy bloom that opens just for you! 

Poach would love to go home with her sibling, Skillet. He is a fun-loving, playful kitty.  Poach brings the heart,  Skillet brings the fun, together they’re the perfect recipe for love. Both would  do well with other cats,   dogs, and  children.    

To ask about Skillet, please contact us by directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

More about this rescue

Rescue, Retrain, Redeem, and Re-home. 
Redemption Road Rescue Rehab Inc (aka R4) is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization based in Lake County, Illinois. R4 functions as an all-breed and ages, dog and cat rescue that specializes in behavioral training and rehabilitation. We are a professionally operated nonprofit dog and cat rescue run by certified dog trainers. We believe the solution to “difficult” animals cannot just be euthanasia. Our mission is to place dogs and cats that have undergone our rehabilitation program with responsible, reliable, and devoted owners. Our training specialty is centered in dog behaviors and understanding the canine mind. We take in all breeds, all ages and work with domesticated felines and feral cat colonies as well. Our expectations of adopters: 1- Consider the animal as an individual with their own personality and behaviors. 2- Be willing to learn, ask questions, and implement training into their daily routine. 3- Work alongside our team to prepare their home to provide the best environment for their new family member. R4 is 100% volunteer-run and foster-based and relies on donations, fundraisers, grants, and sponsorships to allow our organization to fulfill our mission to animals in need.
