Samara or "Sam" as her friends call her came to RDF when her owners could no longer care for her.  What we didn't know at the time was how very pregnant she really was.  The family just thought she had been eating the other cats food. Sam is expecting a litter of kittens anyday now.  Since she just came to us a couple of days ago, we will continue to update you on Sam and her kittens as we get to know them better.

Kiwi is a 6+? year old spayed female tortoiseshell cat that was found abandoned at an apartment complex dumpster when her former owners moved out.  She is a big cat being both tall and heavy, but is a real sweetheart and likes to be picked up and petted all over.  She even likes water!

Kiwi has gone on short trips outside, but gets very nervous and darts back into the house.  She DOES NOT get along well with other cats.  Kiwi is just fine with dogs (as long as they don't chase her) and is wonderful with children.  Kiwi is a big cat but is down from 24 to 19 pounds.  Because she is on a very simple diet, as per the vet’s instructions, she can be bossy at feeding time.  She loves people of any age, though she doesn’t often get up in a lap on her own.  She is getting much better at it and will play with toys and her scratching ring as well as a laser light.  Kiwi would do very well as an “only” inside cat.

Click here to see a video of Kiwi.

Update!  Kiwi is doing wonderful in her foster home.  She has taken a liking to sitting in her foster mom's lap, trying to clean the dinner plates, and even asks to get a bath.  She has discovered that getting wiped down with a wet cloth keeps the static on her fur down which makes getting petted much more enjoyable.  Kiwi is still looking for that special someone to love her.  Do you have room in your heart for this older but wiser girl?  Thanks to her wonderful sponsors Kiwi's adoption fee has been waived.  Her sponsors are hoping she will find a home for the holidays this year. 

Update!  "Kiwi is a wonderful cat and would be perfect for someone looking for the ultimate lap kitty!"  This comment was made by Kiwi's recent petsitter and is the best explanation of Kiwi.  She loves attention and just wants to eat, sleep, play with her catnip toy, and get petted. So if you or someone you know could use an ornament for their lap, please tell them to apply above for Kiwi.  Her adoption fee has been waived thanks to her sponsors. 

Update!  Kiwi is now the new RDF office kitty.  She was doing great in her foster home but we decided that bringing her to the office may give her some more exposure and more folks the opportunity to come meet her.  She is a fantastic cat and enjoys getting loved on by all of the visitors that come by the RDF office including other dogs.  She is still looking for that special family to be her furever home.  If you are interested, Kiwi would love to meet you so just fill out the application above and come on by.

Update!  Kiwi now rules the roost at the Red Dog Farm Office.  The top two pictures are of Kiwi lounging in two of her favorite spots around the office.  She also enjoys pestering our Executive Director and volunteers working in the office by laying on their desks or laps as they are trying to work.  Click here to see a video of Kiwi sprawled out on one of our desks supervising the office.  Kiwi also loves a bath and her new birdie friend, Zazu, who will soon be available for adoption as well.  P.S. Her motor never stops!

Kiwi is being sponsored by the Kent family in honor of their grandparents Dr. and Mrs. James F Wilson.  To sponsor an animal please see our "Sponsor an Animal" page. 

Spider was originally abandoned at a local vet's office in Greensboro, NC.  The two female cats he was left with have already been adopted.  Poor Spider is the only one left and unsure why no one wants a gorgeous male orange tabby kitten.  He didn't mind the vet's office but was a little scared while there.  He is now doing great in his foster home!  He doens't mind other dogs or cats and is really coming out of his shell.  We all new he would once he got to a home.  Spider is vaccinated, neutered and FIV/FeLv Negative so he is ready to go home today.  If you are interested in adopting Spider, please fill out an application above.  He's too sweet to miss!

Jinxy is a gray kitten with a great personality.  She is very curious and always comes up to investigate new things and to greet us when we come in the door.  Her playmates are another cat, a full grown doberman, and a boston terrier pup who she plays tag and wrestles with.  Her favorite toys are lasers, stringy things, and loves feet under blankets to mock attack.  She would do well in a home with other cats to play with and might even prefer to be an indoor/outdoor cat because she is always climbing on things and getting into mischief. 

"Pressley" as his foster home has been calling him is a 3 month old tabby kitten that was surrendered to the Wallaces by a neighbor who found him under her son's car.  He looked to have been in a couple battles for his life - see his left ear and the notch in it as well as some fur missing in some places.  He has since led the life of leisure in his own personal "kitty condo" full with a scratching post and constant organic food!  So far Pressley has shown his alertness, sweetness, and love of people by following his foster mom around everywhere outside!  He enjoys chasing leaves, running and playing under bushes, and just snuggling up with mom while watching TV.  Pressley would be a great cat for just about anyone.  He has been introduced to all shapes and sizes of dogs and seems to approve - in fact he is very brave...a little too brave and the dogs tried to take advantage of him!  Poor guy - don't worry, mom saved him!  He loves the outdoors but would probably prefer to be an indoor/outdoor cat with a very affectionate human to love him.

Update!  Are you looking for more of a dog than a cat?  Well Pressley is your man.  He has recently started mastering walking on a leash and recently strutted his stuff at an RDF adoption fair.  Pressley is a very neat cat that is perfect for the dog/ cat lover at heart.  If you can't decide between a dog and a cat, Pressley says take the best of both worlds. 

Hi I'm Mr. Pickles and I'm here to show you what a REAL cat is all about! I am a 6 month old blue black Bombay.  My foster parents say that I am one cool cat. If you are looking for a dog in a cat body then I'm your guy.  I enjoy cuddling on cold nights and lavishing my owner with kisses. I get along great with dogs.  I don't mind other cats as long as they know I am in charge.  I am unique in that I don't shed and the more you rub my coat the shiner it becomes.    If you are looking for that perfect love...Then I'm your man.  All that I am asking for is that my furever home promise to love me forever!! If you think I'm your man contact RDF & ask for Mr. Pickles!   Foster mom update: Mr. Pickles is going to be a very big boy. He is wide open and gets along great with dogs and other cats. He does need to be the top cat in the home tho. He's utd on all shots and has been neutered

Oscar is one of the coolest cats you will ever meet.  He is 4 years young and much more of a dog rather than a cat.  He enjoys greeting people that come to his home, playing with toy mice, and dancing for his food (talk about a party trick).  Oscar lived with "Tiger Lilly" (see dogs page) in his home before both were surrendered because the baby was allergic to them. If you are interested in adopting this cool cat and giving him a forever home in time for the holidays, please fill out an application above. 

Update!  Oscar is quite the social cat and can often be found greeting visitors to the RDF office.  He thinks his new job is Vice-President of Cat Breaks at RDF and demands that you take them every so often.  As far as he is concerned what better way is there to spend a computer break than petting a cat?  If you need a new Vice-President or greeter around your house or office, Oscar is your man. 

Hi! My name is Sapphire and I am a 11 week old solid grey kitten with a little white patch on my belly and one on my neck. I was rescued by a good samaritan from the Harris Teeter parking lot when I was 7 weeks old. I have been to the vet and had all of my shots and was also negative for Feline Leukemia and Feline Aids. I have been spayed as well, so I am ready to go when you are! My best friend is a 120lb. Great Dane puppy who loves to let me climb all over her. I love playing with all of my toys and I also love to play the kids in my foster home too. I can use the litterbox without any accidents and only scratch on my designated scratching areas. Please consider me to put under your Christmas tree this year. I love my foster home, but it sure would be nice to have your home be my forever home!

Ely is very sweet and loves to be held and cuddled. He has the greatest little tufts of long hair that grow out of his ears, which give him a distinguished look. Ely is up-to-date on his rabies shot and distemper vaccine and is dewormed and neutered.

Update!  Who couldn't love that face?  Ely is becoming quite the handsome long haired cat.  He enjoys getting doted on and an occasional excursion outside.  He is still looking for a place to call his forever home. 

Simon came to Red Dog Farm when a good samaritan picked him up after he was thrown out of a car.  He suffered a broken leg that is healing nicely.  It doesn't seem to be affecting him in the least.  He is a super sweet kitten that enjoys getting some attention.  He is looking for a forever home this holiday season now that he is almost recovered.  Please fill out an application above, if you are interested in adopting him. 

Froy came to RDF when she was found by a good samaritan.  She is a great kitten who loves kids, adults, and really everyone she meets.  She has been spayed and then is ready to go to her new home.  Froy is also micro-chipped and vaccinated.  If you are interested in adopting Froy, please fill out the application above.

Update!  Froy has become quite the princess in her foster home.  She loves attention and people but prefers that you understand she is to be treated as a princess.  She's not a diva but does enjoy a cat savvy person.  By "savvy" we mean someone who will let her be a cat and not expect a dog.  Her foster mom loves her and hopes that she finds a special someone soon.

Walker was found in the wall of a local barn.  He is very soft and cuddly and definitely wasn't meant to be a barn cat - he is too sweet!  He is in a foster home where he is receiving lots of love and attention.  If you are interested in adopting him, please fill out an application above.

Nala is a sweetheart of a cat, but does not like quick movements nor loud noises and will calmly retreat to her safe place.  She is coming out of her shell and allows her foster mom to brush her and rub on her.  Nala will need a home with minimal excitement and noise.  Nala seems to do ok with dogs & cats as long as they do not chase her.  Nala is not an outdoor cat however she is fully clawed.

If you are interested in adopting Nala, please fill out and application above. 

Charlie, Mac, and Dennis came to RDF when their owner could no longer keep them.  Their stray momma found her way in to a good samaritan's heart and brought these three along with her.  They are great social little kitties.  They just came in to our program this week (Sept. 21) so we are still getting to know them individually.  They will be neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped this week and then ready for their new homes.  If you are interested in adopting them, please fill out an application above.

Gemma was found at just 4 days old by a good samaritan who brought her to RDF.  She is small for her age but will be ready to go to her new home shortly.  She enjoys getting petted and is looking for someone to dote all over her.  Gemma is vaccinated and will also be microchipped when she gets spayed in the next week or so. 

Emmett is all boy.  He has a healthy appetite and enjoys being loved on by his foster parents.  Emmett is lucky to be alive after his mother and sibling were found on the side of the road after being hit by a car.  A good samaritan picked up Emmett and called RDF.  He has been checked out by our veterinarian and is in great health for a young kitten.  Emmett will be vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered before going to his new home.  He will be ready to go to his forever home on September 28th.  Please fill out an application above if you are interested in adopting Emmett.

Pluto was found abandoned.  Pluto is a social boy and loves to hang out with friends.  He is a lovable guy but slightly independent.  He already knows how to use the litterbox and does so like a champ!  Its the little steps in life that can be the biggest accomplishments.  Pluto needs to get a little bigger, stronger, and older before he will be ready to go to his new home the end of August but he is well on his way.  To adopt Pluto, please fill out an application above.  He will be neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before going to his new home.

We will update you on Pluto as he gets bigger.

"Arthur" has totally come out of his shell!  He follows his foster mom everywhere and rolls over to have his belly rubbed.  What a love!  Arthur has won over every volunteer who has worked with him.  If you would like a cat who will sit in your lap all day long and "talk" to you while you rub him, Arthur is the cat for you! 

Arthur absolutely loves kittens!  He is "babysitting" Maurice and Morton and takes his job very seriously, grooming the kittens and snuggling with them nonstop! 

Arthur has been tested, neutered and vaccinated and is ready for adoption.  Please complete the adoption application linked to the top of this page.

Maurice was born to a Russian Blue mother named Demi.  His father must have been black because his mother was the typical blue/gray color of a Russian Blue.  He has been tested, vaccinated, neutered and microchipped and is ready for a new home.  He is very laid back yet playful and is a ton of fun!  Maurice likes other cats.

Please complete the application above to adopt Maurice.  He is lonely now that his brothers have been adopted!

As you can see from the picture on Orphan Annie's bio, these two were raised together and are dear friends.

Annie loves to purr and snuggle and is very friendly to other cats.  Please complete the application above to give Orphan Annie a forever home.

Have you ever heard of a catdog?  Well Parker may be just that.  Parker really is a cat although he seems to think he is a dog.  He prefers to eat the dog's food, play with the dog's toys, and even the dog... and apparently is nice about it.  Parker was found on the streets of Greensboro and has taken to the indoor life of a cat.  When Parker isn't following the dog around he loves to be cuddled and loved on.  Parker is also a relatively calm, non-vocal kitty as well.  If you are interested in adopting Parker, please fill out the adoption application above.

Chardonnay is now old enough to be adopted, so please complete the application above if you are interested in adopting her.  She has been spayed, microchipped, tested and vaccinated.  She is very social, purrs a lot and gets along with everyone, so she would make a great addition to any family.  What a cutie!

Hi, my name is Raven and I am one year old.  I just weaned all of my kittens and my foster kittens, so it is time for me to find my forever home.  My family dropped me off at a Dollar General with a flea collar around my neck when I was only 3 months old and never came back for me.  I waited for 3 months in the same spot hoping for them to come back for me, but they never did.  Eventually I got pregnant and my flea collar got very very tight, so a good samaritan brought me to my current foster mommy's house and I have been here ever since.  I love attention and will purr and talk if you pay any attention to me.  I am not crazy about other cats, but I think I would like dogs if I had a chance to get used to them.  I absolutely LOVE children and will turn myself inside out to have you scratch my belly!  Please consider me to be your loving companion for your home.  I am Feline Leukemia and Feline Aids negative and spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.  Please help me find you!  

Your furry life partner,

Raven

Chestnut is a sweet 9 week old gray tabby female.  She talks to you and loves to sit in your lap or on your shoulder.  She is about 3 pounds and is also completely litter trained.  She has a very healthy appetite.  The minute you open a can of food, she is clamoring to eat. Chestnut has been spayed and can go home today!

Chestnut was adopted by the Johnson family!

Spade is a 9 week old gray and white male.  He has very unique markings.  He is very spunky and also loves to talk to you.  He is around 3 pounds and is also completely litter trained.  He has a very healthy appetite and he is definitely a snuggler also.  Spade had a cough on his original surgery date so he will be neutered April 6th and will be ready for adoption.  He's healthy as can be now!

"Wally" was found as a stray and was very, very sickly.  Our veterinarian was not sure that he would make it but after lots of antibiotics and wonderful care in his foster home, he is doing great!  Wally has a huge personality and never stopped purring, even when he had a fever of 103.  In fact, he was adopted by a woman who works for our veterinarian - she fell in love when he was in the hospital and couldn't stop thinking about him.  We are happy for this special little man!

Finn is one of Raven's kittens. He is attached to his foster mom and is an overall friendly boy.  He is named Finn because he likes to sleep a lot and sleeps very soundly, just like Huck Finn.  He is one of the larger kittens with long solid black fur with white hairs that stick out above his regular fur...very cute!

This kitten will be able to go to a new home April 25th.

Finn is RESERVED for the Johnson family.

Zoe is the first to do everything and is quite adventurous.  She is a tortoiseshell with short hair and is also very curious.  All the other kittens stay together in a pack, but she follows her foster mom everywhere, trying to figure out what to do next.  She is very small like Pepe, but is resourceful in getting around all the time.

This kitten will be able to go to a new home April 25th.

Zoe is RESERVED for the Combs family, who is coming all the way from Tennessee to adopt her!

Onyx is also one of Raven's kittens.  He is a little piglet and is the largest of the 6 kittens.  Onyx is very friendly but can tend to rule the roost.  He is a solid black long haired cutie and looks almost like he has chubby cheeks as well as a nice round belly!

This kitten will be able to go to its pre-approved home April 25th.

Onyx is RESERVED for the Rodolfo family.

Pepe is one of the smallest kittens and is the runt of the litter.  He looks like a reverse skunk with white stripe on his belly and little white paws.  He also has a very thin white pin stripe going up his nose to the top of his head.  He tries very hard to keep up with the others and is quite the little lover.

This kitten will be able to go to its pre-approved home April 25th.

Pepe is RESERVED for the Rosendale family.

Layla was born completely white but is now developing dark points like a siamese.  She reminds us of a Himalayan with her long fur, and is absolutely GORGEOUS.  She is a shy girl and is always the last one to come out but once she warms up to you, it is hard to get her away from you.  She was born with spunk and was the first to hiss at her foster mom at a day old!

This kitten will be able to go to its pre-approved home April 25th.

Layla is RESERVED for the Ellis family.

Chloe is a long haired half torti, half calico and is so pretty.  She has black lines around her eyes that look like eyeliner and a large orange flower-like patch covering most of her face.  The rest of her body is torti and she has the sweetest disposition to match her sweet face.

This kitten will be able to go to its pre-approved home April 25th.

Chloe is RESERVED for the Clarke family.

Flash is an 8 week old black and white male.  He is very personable and will talk to you when you talk to him.  He is about 3 pounds so far and is completely litter trained.  He has a very healthy appetite and he loves to be held and will snuggle with you incessantly.  Flash has been neutered and is ready for adoption.

Anya was obtained in a litter of four at approximately 2 weeks old.  Her birthdate is 12-28-2008.  She and her brothers and sister were covered in fleas and all had a very bad upper respiratory infection.  But Anya was a strong fighter and survived, while the other three sadly did not.  She was bottlefed until 6 weeks old and is now happily drinking water and eating kitten food!  She is a very playful kitten and loves to be loved on and curl up around your neck.  As soon as she spots me her little motor goes into overdrive!  She is truly a very special little girl!

Shyla and Sebastian are SUPER MELLOW for kittens.  They love to be held and cuddled, and Sebastian has a loud purr motor as soon as you start to pet him.  He is a lot bigger than Shyla and acts as her protector.  It is adorable because he puts his arms around her to make her feel better when she is scared.  Shyla is much more cautious than Sebastian but when she is feeling safe she is such a lover, just like her brother.  They are also VERY attached to each other as well.

Shyla is pictured in the top photo.  She is small compared to her brother. She has a little white round mark by her nose which makes it look like a beauty mark.

Sebastian, pictured in the bottom photo, is a lot larger than Shyla. He has a lot more white on him and he has markings on him that make it seem that he has a tie on.

Both Shyla and Sebastian have been adopted together!

Sammy (female) is a 3 year old Siamese cat who has more of an orange tabby disposition.  She loves everyone and gets along well with calm dogs.  She needs to find a new home because of allergy issues in her present home.  If you are interested in adopting Sammy, please complete the application above.  She has been spayed and is current on all vaccines.

Leo was abandoned at a neighboring farm and has now been neutered and vaccinated.  He is very social and wants very much to be a lapcat.  Leo loves his new indoor life but has experience as an outdoor cat too, so he would likely be happy either way.  He has a typical sweet, loving orange tabby personality!   Please complete the application above for Leo.

What a handsome guy!

Walter is a brother of Skeeter and Scarlet.  The nice person who found these kittens fell in love with Walter and wanted to keep him but has now decided that he will be better off in an adoptive home. Walter is VERY social and will follow you everywhere you go!  He has bonded well with the dog in his foster home and absolutely loves people.  Walter has been neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.  Walter is in a foster home with five year old twins who carry him around, so he will be great in a home with children.

"Cosmo" is a declawed registered Maine Coon whose pedigree is fancier than most people we know!  Cosmo's owners surrendered him because they had two children and he did not like being number three on the totem pole.  He is very, very sweet and very social with people but is absolutely terrified of dogs.  He does like other cats just fine.  Cosmo does not bite and will roll over and let you brush his belly - in fact, if you have a brush he will lie still for as long as you will brush him.  He loves to snuggle and will purr if you let him nap with you.  Cosmo needs a stable, quiet home with no dogs or young children.  He is absolutely gorgeous and will make a wonderful companion in the right home.

Skeeter (orange and white) and Scarlett (calico) are sisters who have the softest fur you can imagine!  They wandered up to a barn with their mother and were fortunate enough to be cared for by a nice person who wanted a good life for them.  They are going to be beautiful cats and are very sweet and social.  They love people but aren't so sure about dogs.  Skeeter and Scarlett have been spayed and are now available for adoption.

Their adoption fee is $95 each or $150 together.

Jack Black is a very sweet kitten who used to be shy but has really come out of his shell lately.  He now stands still as the dogs in his foster home sniff him and doesn't seem to mind so long as they don't get too excited about him. He likes to come to you and sit in your lap if you are still and will follow you around if you are quiet.  He has been neutered, tested and has received his first two rounds of kitten vaccines. Jack Black likes other cats and kittens.  In fact, he was the first to welcome Tiger Lilly and befriend her when she came to his foster home.

Spike and Sylvester are brothers that love to play together.  They are both very social and demand attention.  When they aren't looking for someone to play with they are curled up together in their favorite kitty bed.  We will separate Spike and Sylvester if we have to but would love to see them be adopted together.  They are very laid back and would do fine with dogs or children.  They love to purr!  Spike and Sylvester will be neutered Monday, November 24th and will then be adoptable.  Their adoption fee is $95 each or $150 together.

Smokey Joe was trapped at five weeks old and has come a long way from being a feral kitten!  He now purrs, loves to snuggle with people and dogs and is very fun to play with.  He is very outgoing and would do well with children or dogs.  He has been neutered, tested and has received his first two rounds of kitten vaccines.

Tiger Lilly was a stray but she sure doesn't act like it!  She purrs nonstop and demands to be held and played with.  She is a bit timid of dogs but would love to play with children or have a houseful of people to snuggle with.  She is very outgoing.  Tiger Lilly has been spayed, tested and has received her first round of kitten vaccines.
