Ambassadors for God's Creatures

Have you ever looked at your cat and thought what are you hearing I can’t? Cats not only have exceptional hearing, but they have the ability to rotate their ears 180 degrees.
Your average cat’s range of hearing is much higher than that of humans, and it allows them to hear ultrasonic noises alerting them to the presence and location of small animals, like rodents, with stunning accuracy.
Not only are cats adept at hearing, but their ears also have an astonishing 32 muscles, which can rotate 180 degrees. Even more impressive, each ear can move independently from the other to allow them to pinpoint where any interesting sounds are coming from.
Cats ears do more than pick up sounds. They also help them keep their balance and, along with their tails and whiskers, are a good indicator of cat body language.

Our retail store, pet food pantry, foster and TNR programs are always in need of donated items!! The revenue from our store is why we are able to help so many disadvantaged pet owners with the expense of spaying and neutering, as well as vaccinating their pets! Please support our mission. We love novelty type pet products and supplies for the store. Thank you!

Last night, our Strategic Planning Committee met, rolled up their sleeves and reviewed organizational data, current programming and services, completed a SWOT analysis, made recommendations for the 2026 budget and by the end of the meeting created a strategic plan that includes solid goals and objectives as we move into the new year.
This was an extremely productive, engaged committee that remained mission focused while taking into account the reality of AFGC's financial condition, as well as the state of animal welfare, as it is today, and making some tough decisions for the organization moving forward.
Every single person at this table (even sweet Henry) contributed to the committee process, and we cannot thank them enough for being so invested in Ambassadors for God's Creatures. This was a great night! Thank you, ladies!

What a wonderful adoption that we had yesterday! Sweet Diamond, who was actually trapped at a colony in Pendleton, along with her four siblings, was adopted yesterday to Nicole and her sweet family. Nicole sent us these pictures today and said that Diamond hasn't stopped purring and cuddling since she came home with them. Of course she is nervous about her new surroundings but Nicole says her daughter read her a book last night to help her feel safe and loved. ❤️
Thank you for adopting with us, Nicole! We know Diamond will have a wonderful life!

How do I know how old my cat really is? The first year of a cat’s life is equal to the first 15 years of a human life in terms of development. After its second year, a cat is about 25 in human years. After that, each year of a cat’s life is roughly seven human years.
While it’s always essential to make sure your cat is on a healthy meal plan, it’s imperative in that crucial first year to feed them a kitten food packed with the nutrients they need to become a healthy adult cat.

Dexter is officially looking for his forever home.

11 years young, gentle as can be, and a professional nap-taker!
This sweet, fully declawed senior boy loves quiet days, plush blankets, and cozy naps. He’s mostly to himself, but offer some ear or chin scratches and he’ll happily soak up the love! A calm, easygoing companion ready for a soft place to land.

His adoption fee is $50.

January is walk your Pet month. Here in Indiana it always seems so cold to get out with our pets but a good walk and to get outside will help not only you but your pets as well. Set a small goal and see if you and your pet can reach it. The vaccine clinic will be back tomorrow so we hope to see you there from 12-2 or 5-7.

Make sure you are still applying your flea, tick, and heartworm medication to your pets. We often think we don’t need to once we get a freeze but here are some fun facts.
