My personality

My story

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

Like the brilliant stars that make up Orion's constellation, our special litter of kittens shines with their own unique light while being part of something magical! These celestial sweethearts may not guide ancient sailors, but they'll certainly light up your life with their sparkling personalities and loving hearts. Each tiny star in our Orion litter brings boundless energy and affection to every day.

Meet Mintaka! Just like their namesake star in Orion's Belt, Mintaka brings perfect alignment of playfulness and affection! This delightful kitten has mastered the art of balance – knowing exactly when it's time for exciting play sessions and when it's time for gentle cuddles. Her sparkling personality and loving nature make her an absolute joy to have around. ​

Raised by humans since they were just tiny twinkles, these social butterflies have been carefully guided to become perfect companions. They're playful entertainers who keep their humans laughing with their cosmic antics and stellar personalities. And just like their namesake stars light up the night sky, these little ones know exactly how to brighten any room – especially around mealtime, when their melodious meows create the sweetest celestial symphony!

Mintaka adores her brother, Betelgeuse, and they make the perfect pair. Their bond is inseparable—whether playing, snuggling, or exploring. These two share a deep connection that makes them the perfect duo to welcome into your home!​ Please see our Bonded Pair Policy below. 

To ask about Mintaka and Betelgeuse, please contact us by directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

More about this rescue

Rescue, Retrain, Redeem, and Re-home. 
Redemption Road Rescue Rehab Inc (aka R4) is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization based in Lake County, Illinois. R4 functions as an all-breed and ages, dog and cat rescue that specializes in behavioral training and rehabilitation. We are a professionally operated nonprofit dog and cat rescue run by certified dog trainers. We believe the solution to “difficult” animals cannot just be euthanasia. Our mission is to place dogs and cats that have undergone our rehabilitation program with responsible, reliable, and devoted owners. Our training specialty is centered in dog behaviors and understanding the canine mind. We take in all breeds, all ages and work with domesticated felines and feral cat colonies as well. Our expectations of adopters: 1- Consider the animal as an individual with their own personality and behaviors. 2- Be willing to learn, ask questions, and implement training into their daily routine. 3- Work alongside our team to prepare their home to provide the best environment for their new family member. R4 is 100% volunteer-run and foster-based and relies on donations, fundraisers, grants, and sponsorships to allow our organization to fulfill our mission to animals in need.
