Story
This gorgeous girl was found outside some years ago by a lovely family that has cared for her inside and outside of their home. As the years have gone by, it became obvious that Luna wants to be in a quieter home without other pets. Luna enjoys spending time with her favorite people. Her love language is quality time. Luna is a mama cat and she has mothered many litters. This is her first season being spayed and free of that responsibility. Lunas babies were placed through our rescue, and she sure had beautiful kittens. This mama is looking for a cat-savvy home that enjoys having a companion cat indoors plus outdoors in the garden. Luna regularly asks to go outside and always comes back to her home. Although there would be a transition period when moving to her new forever home, we believe she would still enjoy exploring the great outdoors. Luna would do best with older children, preferably teenage years and up (14+). Luna has been known to sometimes be sensitive around young men and other cats/dogs. She much prefers a person she knows well and being the main pet in the home. Luna has a loving personality and would brighten and room in someones home.

Story
Morty Beans the miraculous bean sprout! This little dude was found dragging his legs around in a neighborhood with some very large wounds on his back/hiney/legs. Springing into action we rushed this sweet boy to the vet where we realized he is feral, FeLV positive and had a completely shattered pelvis. We believe he may have gotten caught up in some moving engine parts.  Watch Morty Bean's rescue here:  Facebook: https://bit.ly/morty-beans-rescue Instagram: https://bit.ly/morty-beans-rescue-IG As a rescue we were contemplating the best approach, and we decided to do surgery. We patched up Morty and saw how strong his will to live was! We decided to continue caring for him in a foster home and let him recoup both physically and hopefully warm up to people behaviorally. Morty is recovering well and went from very severe wounds to healing patches of skin and new hair. It’s a tricky situation to be healing from a shattered pelvis. He is learning to walk normally again, gaining strength daily, using his litter box and his legs are slowly regaining their normal shape. He was injured for anywhere from 1-2 weeks when we found him.  Here's a video update on how Morty Bean's is recovering now that he's ready for adoption: https://bit.ly/morty-beans-ready-to-adopt FeLV or Feline Leukemia is a communal illness that is spread very easily from cat to cat. Even though there are cases where cats can eventually become negative, we will only allow Morty to go live with another FeLV+ cat. Being that he is a young adolescent male that was born into a feral colony, it will take a committed, ambitious individual to work with his behavioral rehab. You can learn more about FeLV by watching this video: https://youtu.be/A2d_QcA_1bo?si=58rLtRLjhX7Gm6CP Morty is warming up to his foster human and even the dog. We believe he can have a great quality of life with the right person/family. Please consider opening up your home to this sweetheart.  To learn more, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or email 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 October 4, 2024, 3:39 pm

Story
Meet Hank, a charming adult male gray tabby with a personality as vibrant as his stripes. This affectionate feline is a true people-person, always eager to be in the company of his human friends. Hank's love for cuddles knows no bounds — he's the perfect companion for those cozy nights in, offering warmth and purrs aplenty. But that’s not all — Hank is also a bundle of energy and entertainment. He is incredibly playful and curious. While Hank's zest for life is endearing, it's important to note that he can sometimes get carried away in his play. His enthusiasm can lead to rough play when overstimulated, which is why we don’t recommend him with children younger than teens. Hank's ideal family will understand his need for both affection and playtime. In terms of furry companions, Hank has shown some apprehension around dogs, but he generally gets along well with other animals. If you're looking for a devoted, fun-loving companion who will fill your days with joy and your evenings with cuddles, Hank might just be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
Meet Opal, a sweet, short-haired black beauty with enchanting green eyes looking for her forever home. This darling girl is very loving and adores attention and gentle pets, making her the perfect companion for those seeking a kindhearted feline companion. We believe Opal started her life in a home as someone's pet before being abandoned at a young age. While initially cautious with new people, Opal's social skills shine through as she warms up to her human companions. She also gets along well with other animals including dogs.  Opal's journey to our rescue is truly heartwarming. She arrived as a stray with three kittens of her own, and lived in a warm, loving foster home while she nursed and cared for her babies. Once her biological babies were ready to be on their own, she selflessly took on the role of surrogate mother to six orphaned kittens who had tragically lost their own mom. Her nurturing spirit and compassion knows no bounds. Now that Opal has gone above and beyond in her motherly duties, she's ready to find a loving family to call her own. Could you be the one to give this remarkable hero the forever home she deserves? To inquire about Opal, please contact us by directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Zoya is ready to bring her unique charm into a loving family's life. She’s an affectionate girl with a quiet yet playful nature. While Zoya may take a little time to warm up to new faces, she quickly transforms into a fountain of love. Her gentle demeanor and soft purrs will soon become a soothing presence in your home. Zoya's playful side emerges as she grows familiar with her surroundings, revealing a cat who enjoys the simple joys of feline life – be it a dangling toy or a cozy sunbeam.

As long as little ones approach her with kindness and respect, Zoya enjoys their company, making her an ideal family pet.

Hi! I'm Caroline! I came from a hoarding situation, and I'm used to being around kitties all the time. It's my comfort zone to have a friend with me, so I need to go home with another kitty — OR — to another kitty (if you already have a buddy for me at home). This will help my transition out of shelter life as I continue to work on trust and letting go of that difficult time in my life. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.
