My story

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

Name: Violet May
Breed: Russian Blue/British Short-haired (the most popular of gray kittens)
DOB: 4/28/2024
Good with kids: YES
Good with dogs: YES
Good with cats: YES
Foster location: Twin Lakes, WI
Adoption fee: $200 a kitten or $350 for a pair of kittens 



Fun Bio: These babes will be ready for adoption when they are 8-10 weeks old. So we have some time, but follow their story! Get an application in, and be patient OR apply for one of our already kittens or cats! 
If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.  We will likely not respond to interest emails regarding puppies and/or kittens, we get so many "interest" emails that we simply do not have the time to respond to each one. 



We always recommend playtime, positive reinforcement training and a regular schedule for feeding times when bringing a new cat/kitten into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time!
Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing, deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip.



Anti-Declawing Policy:
All cats and kittens will have a no declaw policy in their adoption contract with us!
  
Declawing is a series of bone amputations.  Declawing is more accurately described by the term de-knuckling and is not merely the removal of the claws, as the term “declawing” implies.  In humans, fingernails grow from the skin, but in animals that hunt prey, the claws grow from the bone; therefore, the last bone is amputates so the claw cannot re-grow.  Declawing is one of the most painful, routinely performed procedures in all of veterinary medicine.  Each toe of the cat is amputated at the first joint.  Declawing a cat is equivalent in a person to amputating the entire first knuckle of every finger. 



Declawing is done strictly for the benefit of the owner.  There are NO benefits to the cat and NO good reasons to declaw.



Declawing can lead to behavior changes.  A declawed cat has no way to defend itself and may resort to biting more often.  Due to pain, they may stop using the litterbox. 



There are humane alternatives to declawing.  Cats can be trained to use scratching posts.  They should have their nails trimmed regularly.  There is double sided sticky tape that can be put on furniture to deter a cat from scratching there.  There are also nail caps called Soft Paws that are glued onto a cat's naile cat’s nails without harm.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process begins with an adoption application. We require a reference check, vet check, and home check. Adoption fees range from $100-$325 depending on the pet. Meet-and-greets can be set up by appointment with the foster home. Our puppies and kittens are not adopted until they are spayed/neutered at the age of 12 weeks. The mixes listed on this site are our best guess - no breed is guaranteed as we do not know the history of these rescue pets.

Most fosters surround the area of Elgin IL. Since we work with fosters, meet and greets must be arranged beforehand!

More about this rescue

A Little R & R is happy to join the animal-loving community to help make a difference in the lives of pets both locally and internationally. The ultimate goal of A Little R & R is to have a facility to offer sanctuary to those pets that have been forgotten - perhaps less adoptable, not as cute, getting older, passed around too many homes - they will find peace with us.

While we work towards this goal, A Little R & R is operating as a small foster-network rescue with the ability to pull pets from high-kill shelters, foster, and adopt to verified individuals. Creating a foster network, rescuing, and adoptions will always be part of A Little R & R's mission.
