Story

Meet Beau – The Shoulder-Riding Sweetheart With the Most Innocent Face With his soft tabby stripes and the sweetest, most wide-eyed expression, Beau looks like he walked straight out of a storybook. At 6 months old, he’s equal parts playful energy and gentle affection. He adores calm cuddle time with his human, but he’s also known for his signature move—leaping up to perch on your shoulders and wrapping himself around your neck like the coziest little scarf. Face snuggles are absolutely his specialty. Beau must have a playful buddy in his home. He is full of kitten energy and thrives when he has another cat to chase, wrestle, and zoom around with. He’s been around other cats and people of all ages and does well with older children who understand gentle interaction. After the heartbreaking loss of his two siblings, Beau has found comfort and joy playing with the other foster kittens in his home, and having a feline friend by his side is truly essential for him to stay happy and fulfilled. Beau loves human attention and can’t seem to get enough of it. Some days he’s delightfully needy, following you around and asking for snuggles; other days he’s a little more independent—but always affectionate. His foster mom especially loves watching him and his foster sister race through the house side by side, full of joy and life. Beau is playful, loving, and deeply connected to his people. If you’re looking for a cuddly, energetic kitten who will ride on your shoulders, snuggle your face, and bring constant companionship into your home—with a kitty friend to match his energy—Beau is ready to wrap himself right around your heart.

Hi, I'm Rusty. My humans would tell you that I am an adorable sweetheart. I am a little shy at first, but with time, patience, and understanding, I will warm up. When I do, you will see my fun-loving side. I am very playful and full of energy. You can find me joyfully pouncing around the house, chasing shadows, and my brother turning every moment into a fun, exciting adventure. I love playing with toys too. I am bonded with my brother Skype, and we must be adopted together. You would love him too. He is super friendly and curious. He loves playing with me and our toys. We are looking for our furrever home, and we are hoping it is with you. Bringing us home, you will get an adorable, fun-loving duo that will be your loyal companions, bringing you smiles and laughs daily, and bringing joy into your home! We would do great in a home with other pets: well-mannered, polite dogs, cats, and older, considerate children. We would also just enjoy having all of your attention to ourselves.

Story

Hi I am Wabi-sabi. I am a very sweet and loving girl who really enjoys time with those I love, especially if it includes being pet. Once upon a time, I broke two of my legs, one in the front and one in the back. One healed on its own, and the other they put a plate in it to heal and fix it. I've never let it slow me down. I still zoom through the house with fearless determination and chase toys as if I'm training for the Kitty Olympics. My leg is just part of my story; it is a reminder of my strength and resilience. My humans say what truly defines me is my playful energy, adventurous spirit, and the way I can turn every moment into something joyful. I may have broken my leg once, but my spirit is unbreakable. I am a curious kitty who loves to explore my surroundings. I am food-motivated and proud of it - a professional snacker, as they call me. I love with my whole heart, I am in search of my family and my furrever home. By bringing me into your home, you will get a loyal companion who will fill your life with love, laugher and fun. I would do great in a home with cats and older, considerate children. I would also enjoy just being someone's solo buddy. To ask about Wabi-sabi, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.
