Red Clay Animal Rescue Savannah, GA Red Clay Animal Rescue is a small but powerful force in the collective effort to end pet homelessness and suffering in the Savannah area.

We are a licensed nonprofit organization. We provide care on a small scale to homeless animals with treatable injuries or illnesses, as well as seniors, usually from within the regional shelter system, who would otherwise be euthanized. Additional priorities include facilitation of animal transfers and transports (from high kill/poor live release rate facilities to facilities and rescues with very

high adoption rates, often in other states). These transfers very frequently require that the pets receive some medical intervention (sterilization, infectious disease testing, vaccinations) before transfer/transport.

100% of your donations will be used for homeless animals in need.

Charlotte is a lovely petite female kitty available for adoption. She spent a month at animal control being treated for an upper respiratory infection that would not go away… but what she actually had was a huge nasopharngeal polyp that we successfully removed at the time of her spay. Her breathing is great now! Unfortunately, Charlotte does have another health issue that isn’t fixable, she has a congenital problem with one of the valves of her heart (she has mitral valve dysplasia). She feels perfectly fine now but she has a murmur.
Charlotte is a very small cat (4.6 pounds) and I don’t think she will get much bigger. She has her adult canines in so is >6months old but her exact age is unknown.
Charlotte is a gentle, affectionate cat looking for a loving home.
Picture of her polyp, and her echocardiogram report, in comments.
Please contact us with any questions or interest in Charlotte.

Dottie is a lovely 5 month old spayed female kitten available for adoption. She's current on vaccines for a year and FIV/FeLV negative. Typically we like to adopt kittens out in pairs but Dottie is perfectly fine as a solo adoption, she prefers to have all the attention to herself. She's very friendly and loves people.

ADOPTED
This beautiful cat is Sienna, a young adult (maybe 2-3 years old). She was found trying to survive in a colony of feral cats, but she is not feral at all and did not belong there. She was likely dumped.

Sienna is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, and FIV/FeLV negative. She is a lovely, friendly, laid-back cat. She is currently being fostered with another adult cat, and was totally fine with him even on first meeting.

Sienna is looking for an indoor only home and cannot be declawed. She is going to make a wonderful companion for some lucky person.
Please contact us with any questions or interest in Sienna.

Update: Burrito, FF and Pancakes adopted

Pancake, Burrito, French Fries and Tater Tot are 4 of the kittens who will be at this weekend's adoption event! Come meet them on Sunday at Savannah Vendors on Victory

Pancake is a very sweet tuxedo girl who is a little shy at first but warms up quickly and turns into a purring love machine. She loves to watch whatever is going on around her, often from the seat of a chair, and to play with other kittens and groom her sister, Burrito. She has not yet played with a dog, but is living in a house with two friendly dogs and has not had much reaction to them.

Burrito is a super sweet, curious tabby, who likes to explore her environment and likes to hide in bookcases. She is very affectionate with other kittens and people and seems unfazed by friendly dogs. She likes to play with toys and appreciates a good house adventure but is really laid back. She is most often found sitting next to the people in the house and staring at them until they pick her up.

French Fries (aka Tube Socks) is a funny, loveable, adventurous boy tabby. He is very friendly and quick to purr, likes to snuggle, and is the first to suggest a new adventure or game to his litter mates. He loves to play with his brother, Tater Tots, and his sisters, Pancake and Burrito. He has met the cats and dogs in his foster home and has been fine with both.

Tater Tots is a sweet, loveable, adventurous boy tabby, who loves to play with his litter mates. He can often be found wrestling and playing with his brother, French Fries, but also enjoys a nap in a lap or on a blanket. He has met the two dogs and cats in his foster home and had little reaction to either.

There are a lot of illegal things happening lately with no consequences, and here's another one to add to the list: if you dump 3 starving kittens out of your pick-up truck and drive away, you are a criminal and belong in jail.

A nice person contacted the rescue today because a stray she had been feeding disappeared, and came back injured. This is Hoagie, he is a BIG friendly cat! He has a very injured right foot-- lots of broken toes and infection. He will be getting the initial veterinary care he needs overnight tonight and we will see if an amputation is necessary or not. Donations for his care are welcome.

315 Days Waiting for Home

The Character: GERTIE! A fully vetted, 4 year old, orange tabby, lovely lady located in Savannah, GA.

The Setting: Gertie was living outdoors in a trailer park, but was not thriving. Her skin was irritated, and she was losing a lot of fur. A rescue started providing food and medical care for her fellow cats. When it was Gertie’s turn to get fixed and vaccinated, she had lost so much hair, the vets could barely tell she was orange! Instead of being released back outdoors, she was taken in by Red Clay Animal Rescue.

The Plot: Gertie has allergies. Severe allergies! To her food and outdoor environment. No wonder she was feeling so itchy and had lost her fur. But the best news? It’s JUST allergies, and they are treatable with an inexpensive ($1 a day) medication, special food, and an occasional bath. Oh wait, there is even better news: she takes her medication like a champ in a treat! Gertie LOVES the indoor life and does great with the litterbox (so much more civilized), as well as cat scratchers (so much easier on the paws). She has also discovered that playing with toys, spying out of windows, and exploring high perches are amazing ways to spend the day.

The “Perfect Ending”: Gertie will never look perfect and needs her special “someone” to realize she may always have patchy spots in her fur. She may need more than her annual vet visit to keep her allergies in check, and she may need to switch up foods. In other words, she leads an exciting life, and you have to be OK with that. She lived with many other cats in the trailer park, so she’s totally open to a home with other cats, as well as respectful dogs and kids who know how to do proper introductions. She loves people (older kids, adults) and adores getting pets. Gertie says she may look “different”, but she will be that cat who greets you with joy every time you enter the room!

***All adoption inquiries should be made directly with Red Clay Animal Rescue: https://www.facebook.com/redclayanimalrescue . Gertie’s adoption fee is $75, and, as a bonus, she wants to remind you that the rescue can answer any of her medical needs questions so you know exactly what to expect. How amazing is that?!***

Our Story

Red Clay Animal Rescue is a small but powerful force in the collective effort to end pet homelessness and suffering in the Savannah area. We are a licensed nonprofit organization with 501c3 status. We provide care on a small scale (a few animals at a time) to homeless animals with treatable injuries or illnesses, as well as the elderly, usually from within the regional shelter system, who would otherwise be euthanized. A secondary goal is rescuing local homeless animals on their “last day” (often healthy, young animals) from animal control facilities, when other placement can’t be found. These pets are fostered until adoption, or placed with other local rescue organizations. An additional focus is facilitation of shelter-to-shelter transfers (from high kill/poor live release rate facilities with no medical care, to facilities with very high successful adoption rates, often in other states). These transfers very frequently require that the pets receive some medical intervention (infectious disease testing, vaccinations, deworming, health certificates, sterilization) before transfer. We also use our funds to donate to other rescue groups in dire need, and to shelter/animal control facilities with little or no resources when they need help. We rely on donations to fund our mission, and appreciate and thank our community of generous contributors for their support.
