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.

I am very sad to report that Squid passed away this morning. We tried very hard. A special thank you to the veterinary technician who took him home this weekend to care for him around the clock.

Today Squid held his head up on his own, and hissed at a Basset Hound! Shown here enjoying the sunshine for a few minutes outside the ER.

4/2/25 update: Squid is not better. His body temperature and blood sugar levels are normal now but he cannot stand and he won't eat. Taking things in 24 hour increments and really hoping for some signs of improvement today and overnight.

Emergency intake: This little kitten was trapped underneath a house for an unknown period of time. His front leg was tangled in and severely damaged by thick metal wire. He will need an amputation but he is no where near ready for surgery. He was admitted to the ER late last night with a body temperature of 93 degrees, and a blood sugar of 27. He was as close to being dead as a kitten could be. He has A LONG way to go, and I am fund raising for his stay in the ICU on fluids, antibiotics, pain medication, dextrose supplementation, heat.... and hopefully he pulls through and can have surgery.
His name is Squid.

Bernard is a totally awesome cat. He is extremely friendly, playful, and seems to love everyone he meets (people and other animals). He's an older cat, maybe around 7-8yrs old.
Bernard is FIV positive (no big deal) and has well controlled diabetes, so that's why, despite his amazing personality and handsome good looks, he is still waiting for his home. His diabetes is managed with an oral liquid once a day medication called Senvelgo (no injections). He also has some chronic sneezing which doesn't seem to bother him at all.
Bernard is looking for an indoor only home and cannot be declawed.
Bernard is living peacefully in a foster home with FIV negative cats, and it is fine for him to be adopted into an FIV negative home.

This lovely lady is Azalea. She's around 4 months old. Some nice people saw her get hit by a car, and worked hard to find a place for her to get the help she needs. She has a badly fractured pelvis but is on strong pain medication and crate rest, and is able to move both legs and her tail. Welcome to the rescue, Azalea. She is a very sweet cat and was even happy to see a big dog within minutes of intake.

Raven, a beautiful 2 year old female, is still available for adoption! I took a photo of her at last weekend’s adoption event where she was looking kind of shook… I submitted the photo to the Facebook group “This Cat is Photoshopped.” Please enjoy these Raven memes as you start the weekend. These are a few examples of all the fun you could have with Raven as a model, if you adopt her.
Raven is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines and FIV/FeLV negative. She’s being fostered with another adult cat and that’s going fine.

Special needs kitten available for adoption. This is Sarah, she’s a beautiful, friendly, fluffy 5-6 month old female. Sarah has pretty significant cerebellar hypoplasia, a developmental problem with her brain. Sometimes called “wobbly cat” or “wobblers,” this syndrome is usually caused when the kittens’ mother is infected with panleukopenia virus when she is pregnant. Wobbly cats do not get worse over time, and can live a normal lifespan when taken care of properly and kept indoors. Here is a link to little more information about the disease. Please contact us with any questions or interest in Sarah.
Sarah is spayed, current on vaccines, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV negative.

An adoption event that results in even a single cat or kitten finding a loving home is a success. Today that cat was Jack Skellington! Jack hit the jackpot with his new family. It was love at first sight for both parties; Jack was instantly at ease with them. Congratulations Jack, no one deserves it more.

This handsome guy is Cliff. Cliff has been living in a storm drain at an apartment complex for quite a while, and the neighbors have been feeding him. He's now neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV and treated for fleas. Cliff is fearful for a bit when he's first approached, but he actually is a very lovable guy who wants attention and has a great purr, and is a skilled biscuit maker. He is looking for a quiet indoor only home. Age estimate 7-12 months.

There have been several very ill and injured animals taken in over the last couple of weeks, and here are some updates:

1. Jack Skellington-ADOPTED- (forelimb amputation cat) is doing great. He’s out of the hospital and available for adoption in the coming days. He’s a very sweet cat, around a year old, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and FIV/FeLV negative.
2. Raven (pyometra cat, also had a tooth extracted) is also doing great. She is available for adoption. She’s around 3 years old, spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and FIV/FeLV negative. She’s quite timid at first but once she gets to know you, she wants to sit in your lap (very friendly).
3. Madeline (abandoned, starved cat) has gained a pound in 6 days. This miracle was accomplished by giving her cat food. A very nice senior cat!
4. Hoagie (injured hindlimb, lots of broken toes) is the most handsome cat of all time, and is healing well, using his foot now with a small limp. Strong lead on a great adopter for this guy.

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.
