My story

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

Introducing Merica. This adorable kitten is full of life. She is energetic, fun, and playful. She has a playful heart with a loving soul. Those beautiful, curious eyes of hers are always looking for the next place to explore. As fun and playful as she is, she is equally loving and affectionate. Affection in fur form, Merica is spreading love one purr at a time. She gets very enthusiastic when it is time to eat; some may call her a food enthusiast. This sweet kitty will keep you smiling. Love comes in small furry packages, and she proves it. 

Merica is a part of a bonded pair and must be adopted with her sibling, Sparkler, who is fun-loving  and playful. Bringing them both home, you will get love, laughter, and a little bit of fun mischief! 

Merica and Sparkler  would do well with other cats, dogs, and children. 

To ask about Merica and Sparkler, 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.
