It is always better for young kittens to remain with their mother rather than have people intervene. A mother cat will periodically leave her nest to hunt for food. If you see young kittens without their mother, it is likely she will return.

Pre-weaned kittens without a mother are very difficult to care for and have a high mortality rate. They require frequent feedings of kitten milk replacer formula day and night, and many simply “fail to thrive” without the care of their mother.

If you are experienced and choose to take on the commitment of raising, vetting and rehoming the kittens - we applaud you and encourage you. 💕 But, while good-intentioned, gathering them up to bring to an already full shelter or rescue is not the best plan this kitten season!

Wait until they can eat on their own and your shelter or rescue might be more willing to take them in (especially if you're willing to foster them!) and help you get the mom spayed.

Someone driving through my neighborhood on Piccadilly Road around 8pm this evening hit this cat and kept going. I had just walked my dogs by a home with 2 cats laying in the front yard and after my second time around one of the cats was dead in the middle of the street.
I placed his remains in a box, went door to door to see if he belonged to a neighbor. No luck. If you are missing a cat that looks like this one and you live on this road or nearby, please message me. Otherwise, his remains will be brought to Loyal and True on Monday morning.
I'm sorry sweet boy. 🌈 🐾

How grateful we are to our local PetSmart here in Anderson!! Just this week we had 5 adoptions, Jenny, Smudge, Sunny Ray, Alaska and Everest!!! Thank you adopters!!! Please post a photo of them in their new homes!! Ashley B just freshened up our cages last night with new cats to showcase for the weekend!!! We want to also give a big shout out to our partners at the Madison County Humane Society, Indiana and the Marion Animal Care and Control for working with us to get adult cats pulled from the shelters and into our program so we can give them their best chance for adoption at Petsmart. This work requires that we work together for the animals and we are doing just that!
ALSO, PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS.....we are having an adoption event at our store a week from Saturday....June 7th, from 10-3pm. Our adoption application link can be found our FB page off to left. If you are thinking about adopting a cat, please get a jump on things and get the application completed so you can be pre-approved and pick out your new family member next week!! Most of the kitties that will be at the event are just about 3 months and will be having surgery on the 12th, so they would be ready to go home with you over that following weekend. We have some SWEET kitties!!

Urgent!!

We urgently need a foster placement for 3 kittens. They are almost 3months old and will be getting fixed 6/12. Fostering would be temporary since they will be going to petsmart after they are fixed.

Please message us if you are willing to help!

Our hearts are breaking when we see so many animals in need, those being born without a chance at life, animals being abandoned and surrendered to shelters in record numbers, and so many animals not being cared for propertly by their owners...unaltered cats and dogs having litter after litter which contributes to the animal population in ways most people outside of animal rescue do not and cannot possibly comprehend unless you are in the trenches doing this work. It's bad and it's discouraging.
The animal welfare system is struggling right now to keep up with meeting the needs of the animals who simply need to be saved and given a fair shot at life. Every single rescue and shelter is maxed out beyond capacity and I dare say every one of them has taken in 50-75% more than they have the space for or the funds that will provide for those animals. The reason? Because we all care and we know we might be an animals last and only hope....so we take in more than we can manage or afford.
Ambassadors is beyond capacity right now. With donations being at an all time low, we simply cannot take in more animals knowing we may not have the funds, supplies and food to care for them. That would be completely irresponsible and it would take us away from our other programs that are critical to helping get this growing pet population reduced. We continue to receive messages on a daily basis from pet owners who either need help to place an unwanted litter or need help to pay their emergency vet bills. We cannot help. We don't have the capacity or the funds. As hard as it is to say 'no' to some of these situations, we have to be good stewards of our rescources and we just cannot help everyone. We are sorry for that.
How can we help? Please take a look at our flyer of programs and services. These are the way we can help you and your pets. Most important thing you can do is get your pets spayed and neutered, as well as vaccinated. We offer a free vaccine clinic every Monday.
ALSO....we do have several male dog neuter surgery spots open for this coming Monday. Please message us if interested and give us time to respond.
Monetary donations are always needed, as well as Kitten Chow and any kind of litter. We also need donated items for our store as this is our primary source of revenue to support our programming. If anyone has a cage/tower they want to part with we could also use some of those for our fosters. Please message us for more information about donations or how you can become a part of our team. Thank you!

Spaying and/or neutering your pet is the single most important thing a pet owner or colony keeper of community cats can do to reduce the pet population in our communities.
We offer discounted and subsidized spay/neuter surgery voucher packages that are very affordable and they include the rabies vaccine, pain meds, the appointment and transportation to and from the clinic. We partner with the Low Cost Spay Neuter Clinic for bulk appointments so you can easily book with us. Their clinic is high volume and very busy, so it is difficult to connect with them at times. We work together to alleviate some of their scheduling volume and by doing so we can get your pets scheduled for surgery more quickly. We have many surgery appointments available during the month of June. Please send us a FB message if interested.
Attached is our pricing guide.

Hey everybody!! With our current schedule and being closed all of this week, we are scheduling spay and neuter appointments through our Facebook Messenger. We have 8 male dog neuter surgery appointments for next Monday that we'd like to fill!! Please send a message if you have a male dog to get fixed!!! We can go over pricing in all of the details.

Happy Memorial Day and thank you to all who served our country and provided us with the freedoms we have today!
With close to 70 kitties in our foster program and donations being at an all time low, we are asking for our supporters help! Our two most pressing needs are cat litter and Kitten Chow. The litter does not have to be clumping....we will take anything we can get. We do prefer our kitties to be on one food, and we are asking for Kitten Chow.
If you are able to help us out, please send us a message and we can arrange to pick up or meet you for drop off. We are closed all of this week until we resume our free vaccine clinic next Monday. Monetary donations are also needed to fully vet our kitties. The average cost to fully vet a kitten is around $200/kitten. With 70 kitties in the program that is going to cost us $14,000, and our adoption fee is only $75. This does not include the additional vet fees we may incur as well as the food, litter and other supplies needed for the program. We do the foster program as a way to divert kittens from ever entering the shelter system AND to save them from the elements and threats from being born outside. We are committed to the kitties and we want to make sure they go to wonderful adoptive homes.
Thank you for your support!! We appreciate you all!

Sunny ray and Jenny are still at petsmart in Anderson waiting for their forever home!

Both are super sweet amazing cats.

Sunny ray (orange and white) has lived with dogs and would do great in any home setting.

Jenny (buff and white) has lived with other cats and is such a cuddle bug!

Stop at petsmart and potentially meet your new best friend!!

How to tell a male and female cat apart:

Sorry for the in-your-face photo 🙀, but we get asked a lot about how to tell the difference between female cats and male cats. It’s especially difficult to decipher when dealing with a neutered male cat or kittens who don’t have obvious man parts yet.

Our very willing models for this awkward photo were Tony who has recently found a home greeting folks at the Spay Neuter Clinic 😻 and our very own Moonfrye, who was born to a stray cat at our house 6 years ago. ❤️

As you can see from the illustration, the distance between the a**s and ge***al area is much greater on a male cat than a female. You can also tell from the shape of the ge***al opening. On a male, it is circular (similar to a : colon). On a female, it is more like a vertical line (similar to a ; semi-colon).

Another simpler, but less reliable, way to tell the s*x of your kitten is by the color of its coat. Tortoiseshell or tri-colored cats are almost always female. The chromosomal makeup of female cats is solely responsible for this coloration, so you can pretty much guarantee any calico cat is a girl as well. Orange or ginger-colored cats, however, are most often male. Yet, this trait is not as reliable as the tri-colored trait, as only three-quarters of ginger-colored cats are male.
