In the shelter’s words

Hi, I'm Van Helsing, the hunter of snacks and defender of warm laps. I have a lot of energy and love to play. I'm not just playful, I am pure happiness wrapped in fur. Life with me is never boring—only brighter, sweeter, and a little more silly. I am a curious kitty who likes to explore. Discovering the world one paw step at a time, we would make a great team. I am super sweet and want to share my love with you. I will steal your heart and your comfy chair. All I need is a loving home, and I’ll give you a lifetime of play, purrs, and companionship. Van Helsing is part of a bonded pair. He must be adopted with his brother, Dracula. Dracula is playful, curious, and very sweet. Legends say they were destined to clash, turns out Dracula and Van Helsing are the purr-fect pair! These two cuties would do great in a home with other pets- dogs, cats, and children! They would also just enjoy having all of your attention to themselves. To ask about Van Helsiing and Dracula, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org .

This policy was developed through extensive scientific research and hands-on experience, including observing behavioral patterns. Thank you for understanding.
