Story
Meet Vienna, a young ebony beauty who's learning to step out of her shell and into the light of human companionship.  Vienna is starting to find her footing in the world of human interaction, and she shows promising signs of becoming a wonderful companion. Her journey into domestication is blossoming and she is becoming friendlier with her foster family!  For the right patient family who understands that love sometimes takes time to bloom, Vienna in time will become a devoted companion.  Vienna is looking for an experienced cat family who will give her the time, space, and gentle encouragement she needs to continue her transformation.  Vienna enjoys spending time with other cats, especially her brother Amor. She may even adapt to a dog that is cat friendly and polite. To ask about Vienna, please contact us by directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Introducing King Tut, a royal heart, a gentle soul who loves everyone he meets. The friendliest pharaoh you'll ever purr-sonally know. He will bring you smiles and joy as you play with his favorite string toy together. He absolutely loves attention and cuddling. King Tut's palace is wherever the warmest lap happens to be. Bringing him into your home, there is bound to be movie nights while he cuddles in your lap. He will be your snuggle buddy while you read your favorite book. King Tut rules his kingdom with cuddles instead of commands. King Tut would love to go home with one of his siblings: Cleopatra, Sphinx, and Osiris. He would do well with other cats. He is still a little shy, but can adapt to living  in a home with  polite,  well-mannered dogs and older, considerate  children.   To ask about King Tut and one of his siblings, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing    info@redemptionroadinc.org.     See what's new with our rescue, including updates on our animals and upcoming events:  https://lnk.bio/redemptionroadinc    Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/R4inc/  Instagram: @redemptionroadinc _ 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.

Sphinx would love to go home with one of his 3 siblings: King Tut, Cleopatra, and Osiris.  He would do well with other cats.

Hi I'm Nova. Not only am I adorable, but I am also very friendly and outgoing. My humans tell me that I am a sweet kitten who is very affectionate.
