My story

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

Hi, I'm scooter. I've been told that I am so stinking cute, and I must agree. I am a little shy and am still working on my social skills, but I have come a long way already. With patience, time, and understanding, you will see me emerge from my shell. I will let you in on a little secret: the way to my heart is food. Treats open the door, and your love and friendship will keep it open. With me, you get a forever friend who will always remind you when it's time for dinner. I really enjoy head and ear scratches; you will see me melt into relaxation. 

I am ready for a family to call my own. You bring the snacks, and I will bring the joy and happiness to your home. I would be ever so grateful to go home with one of my siblings.

My siblings are Dynamite and Skout. We are all still a little shy and working on our social skills, but we would do well in a home with other pets- cats, polite, well-mannered dogs, and older, considerate children.

To ask about Scooter and one of his siblings, 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.
