Story
Hi, I'm Dahlia. While I am very cute and friendly, I am a little shy when I first meet someone.  I am making good progress as I am working on building my confidence. If you are patient with me and take the time to get to know me, helping me feel comfortable and safe, I will quickly come out of my shell. You will see how very sweet and loving 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 prefer to study the world before jumping into it. Always watching from the sidelines, I observe every movement, every sound, and every new face with careful curiosity. Nothing escapes my notice. When it's time to play, I spring into action with surprising energy, darting after toys, pouncing with precision, and turning ordinary moments into playful adventures. A perfect balance of observer and explorer, I prove that sometimes the most playful hearts belong to the most thoughtful little watchers. 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. He is a little shy at first, but playful, 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 .

Story
Hi, I'm Pansies. I am an adorable and friendly kitty. I'm a bit shy when first meeting people, but I warm up quickly. My  humans would tell you that I am a little sweetheart who rewards patience with the softest, most loving, and genuine affection. I will show you that just like my name, once I blossom, I will bring joy to your home and brighten your days.  I am a whirlwind of curiosity and charm. Equal parts explorer and entertainer, I can turn a quiet room into a playground within seconds. Whether it’s chasing my favorite toys or launching surprise attacks on dangling strings, mischief is simply a part of my magic. I am the purrfect balance of playful and affectionate. I like being with dogs, and I love other cats, and it's important that I have a cat or dog friend to live with.  I would love to go home with my sibling,  Dahlia. He is a curious little kitty who is 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 dogs and older, considerate children.  To ask about Pansies, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing:  info@redemptionroadinc.org .

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.

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
Too smart to be ordinary, too cute to be dangerous, meet Dynamite. This adorable kitty is very observant and curious about his world and surroundings. He will watch you and learn from your actions. He is still a little shy and is working on his social skills, learning the world at his own pace, one brave step at a time. He is growing in his social comfort and now enjoys bonding time and being petted. Dynamite is a gentle spark given love, patience, and time; he will show you that his flame will flourish.  Make Dynamite a part of your family, and he will light up your home; that gentle spark will grow into something beautiful. He would be ever so grateful to go home with one of his siblings. Dynamite's siblings are Scooter and Skout. They are all still a little shy and working on their social skills, but would do well in a home with other pets- cats, polite, well-mannered dogs, and older, considerate children. To ask about Dynamite and one of his siblings, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing     info@redemptionroadinc.org   .
