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.

Story
Introducing Sphinx. A mysterious name for a sweetheart made of purrs. This adorable kitty is super friendly and loves attention. He watches over his kingdom and expects affection as tribute. Sphinx may be mysterious, but his favorite secret is your lap. He would make a great snuggle buddy while you watch a movie or read your favorite book. When he is not sitting in your lap, you can find him playing with string and ribbon toys. Bringing Sphinx into your home, you will get all the love and snuggles, and your heart will be filled with joy! Sphinx would love to go home with one of his 3 siblings: King Tut, Cleopatra, and Osiris.  He would do well with other cats. He is still a  little shy, but I can adapt to living   in a home with  polite,  well-mannered dogs and older, considerate  children.    To ask about Osiris and one of his siblings, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing    info@redemptionroadinc.org .

Story
Hi I'm Pugsley. I am sweet, loving, and full of playful energy. I love peek-a-boo boxes and playing in tunnels. I would be a fun hide-and-seek partner. I don't want to give away all of my secret hiding spots. I will share that I like to hide in places such as the shelving amongst the books and blankets. Some may say that I am a bit mischievous, but I don’t cause trouble; I create adventures. I am a spirited, lively kitty that will keep you smiling and laughing. Some would describe me as affectionate but always on the go, while I do love being pet, there are just so many places to explore and adventures to go on. I definitely love to eat. When I am called for my meals, I will happily sprint toward you, meowing in readiness. Life with me will never be boring!  My siblings are Hyde and Avian. They are both sweet, fun, and playful, just like me.  I bring the fun mischief, Hyde brings the mystery, and Avian brings the magic. Together, we will make your home complete. We would love to all find our forever home together, but at least two of us must go together. Please see our bonded pair policy below.  We would all do great in a home with other pets: dogs, cats, and children! We would also just enjoy having all of your attention to ourselves.  To ask about Pugsley and his siblings, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing    info@redemptionroadinc.org .

Story
Hi, I'm Dahlia. While I am very cute and friendly, I am quite shy, and I am still working on my social skills. When I first meet someone, I can feel a bit intimidated. I really need someone who will be patient with me and take the time to get to know me, helping me feel comfortable and safe, so that I will come out of my shell. Once I feel safe and at home, I will open up, and you will see how very sweet I am. I am a delicate spirit who will become a loyal, sweet companion when trust grows. I will show you that when you bring me into your home, just like my name, I will blossom, and I will sprinkle your days with warmth and your heart with love.   I love other cats, and it's important that I have a cat friend to live with.  I would love to go home with my sibling , Pansies. She is a little shy, too, but sweet and loving. I would also do well with other cats. I am still a little shy, but I can adapt to living in a home with polite, well-mannered dogs and older, considerate children.  To ask about Dahlia, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing    info@redemptionroadinc.org .

Introducing PJ. This adorable kitty would make a great snuggly buddy, as he is as soft as a little bunny rabbit. He is a little shy at first, but overflowing with adorable charm once he warms up.
