My story

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

Hi, I'm Van Helsing, the hunter of snacks and defender of warm laps. I have a lot of energy and love to play. I'm not just playful, I am pure happiness wrapped in fur. Life with me is never boring—only brighter, sweeter, and a little more silly. I am a curious kitty who likes to explore. Discovering the world one pawstep at a time, we would make a great team. I am super sweet and want to share my love with you. I will steal your heart and your comfy chair. All I need is a loving home, and I’ll give you a lifetime of play, purrs, and companionship.

Van Helsing is part of a bonded pair. He must be adopted with his brother, Dracula. Dracula is playful, curious, and very sweet. Legends say they were destined to clash, turns out Dracula and Van Helsing are the purr-fect pair!

These two cuties would do great in a home with other pets- dogs, cats, and children! They would also just enjoy having all of your attention to themselves. 

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

Bonded Pair Policy: Kittens are adopted out in pairs to promote healthy socialization and provide companionship, which is especially critical for the well-being of indoor-only pets. This policy was developed through extensive scientific research and hands-on experience, including observing behavioral patterns. Thank you for understanding.

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.
