My story

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

 Tootsie and her big beautiful eyes. Even from a tiny kitten she was so easy to tell apart from the others because of those darling saucer eyes. She is quite the character. Mischievous, playful, bashful from time to time and eager to explore. Just a free spirit trapped in this small form. Tootsie is a joy to have around and a prime cuddler and love bug. She would be an amazing addition to a home. Tootsie likes other cats, dogs that are cat friendly and kids. She was sadly orphaned at a young age and was hand raised and bottle fed by humans. Which is one reason why she is very human friendly. 

 

Note, Tootsie is part of a bonded pair with her sibling  Poe Tater .  To ask about Tootsie and Poe Tater, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

This policy was developed through extensive scientific research and hands-on experience, including observing behavioral patterns.

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.
