If your rescue or shelter receives a donation of medical supplies that you are unable to use, please keep Cat Snip in mind. Medical supply donations are always accepted and appreciated!

This may not look like much, but I'm so happy to have it. Hendricks County Humane Society passed along a large donation of supplies, including pack wraps and surgery drapes. These are one of the many hidden costs of running a spay neuter clinic. They typically cost between $10 and $15 to buy new. Each pack I use requires an outer wrap, an inner wrap, and a drape. And although they are reusable, they have to be laundered and autoclaved after every surgery, so they do wear out and need to be replaced on a regular basis.

‼️ five kittens‼️
We are in DESPERATE need of a foster for five kittens! A couple will need meds two times a day. We really need some more hands to help medicate and love these babies!
PLEASE reach out if you are willing to open your heart to these babies! You will not be stuck with them. Once they are healthy and ready to go we will move them onto their next stop!

‼️Please share this important post‼️

We realize that this is a big ask but we must ask.
We’re at 400+ help requests right now and the number grows every week.
We are trying to keep up with the need but 400+ requests does not mean 400 cats. I couldn’t even begin to determine how many individual cats are on our list because there are just so many.

That brings me to the ask:
We are looking for licensed veterinarians who may be interested in performing some spay/neuters for us.
We have the supplies, we just need the licensed hands to perform the surgeries.
The biggest catch is that we are not able to pay. This would be a volunteer basis only as we just do not have the ability to pay folks.

To be clear, we do not want to push overworked vets into volunteering their valuable time. We’re here to help our community, not abuse it.
Everything would be on the vet’s schedule and not ours. We adapt and make ourselves available as best as we can!

So if you’re a vet who has the ability (mentally, emotionally, and physically) to help and you want to, please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can discuss everything.

If everyone could, please share this post far and wide.
We want to help our community and the cats but we can only do so much with the resources available to us.

If you are on our waitlist and we have not helped you yet, here are some spay/neuter resources for dogs, owned cats, and community cats:

IndyHumane Downtown Clinic (IndyHumane)- https://indyhumane.org/clinics/spay-neuter-clinics/

FACE Low Cost Clinic (FACE Low-Cost Animal Clinic) - https://faceanimalclinic.org/services/spay-neuter/

Low Cost Clinic (multiple locations. Brownsburg provides a Johnson County drop off/pickup location!) - https://lowcostspayneuterindiana.org/

Handing off free kittens may be getting rid of your immediate problem, but you're literally handing off the problem to someone else. 😞

When people call us for help with spay and neuter, this is one of the most common reasons:

"We rescued this kitten from a lady to help her out, but we really can't afford to get her fixed."

At least they called, MOST do not. 😢
If you TRULY care about cats and kittens and the well-being of them all, you will stop and think before handing off free kittens to the first person who contacts you. And you will spay the mom cat ASAP. ✅ You can safely rehome kittens yourself with an adoption process, but I would encourage you to reach out to a shelter or rescue for guidance on how to do that correctly.

We all need to be aware of the bigger picture and work together to MAKE SURE these mom cats and kittens are all getting fixed before landing in a home. It is not the new owner's responsibility. It is not the old owner's responsibility. It's not a volunteer organization's responsibility.

‼️ It is EVERYONE's responsibility to make sure spay/neuter happens ‼️

Imagine this–it’s night, wherever you are. You’re walking through an abandoned walkway when you see it: a sign, bearing glowing cats. Immediately, you hastily backtrack from whence you came, because you know what the cats mean: This area is radioactive. https://bit.ly/4d5AZ0j

That, at least, is what scientists hope. Knowing the long lifespan of nuclear material, nuclear physicists and engineers have teamed up with linguists, psychologists, and science fiction writers to figure out how to warn future generations away from radioactive sites. The problem is complicated by the fact that even seemingly universal symbols for danger, like a skull or a screaming face, might not make sense to future cultures. Enter: Cats.

Good read!

PSA: Feral cats do NOT belong in shelters.
Let me repeat - feral cats do NOT belong in shelters.

Feral cats are normally brought to shelters by well-intentioned people trying to do good, who are unaware of the unintended consequences of their actions. This is not a post to criticize anyone who has done this before, but rather an educational post to show and explain why.

Meet Robin.** She was brought to a shelter with her babies and is extremely feral. In the shelter, Robin was VERY stressed out, and as a result, would not nurse or care for her babies.

Why is this? Robin is a feral cat, meaning she has never had contact with humans. Robin is not a mean cat, she is simply petrified of people and resorts to hissing, spitting, and growling as a defensive technique to scare humans away. A majority of the time, feral cats like Robin will never be able to relax at the sight of people.. no matter how much time & energy you spend trying to win over their trust. Yes, there are exceptions, but generally speaking, most feral cats can never be socialized to people.

This is why feral cats don't belong in shelters. These cats are not adoptable as house cats, nor will they ever be. Bringing them to a shelter typically results in an extremely stressful and unpleasant circumstances for the cat which negatively impacts their wellbeing as you can imagine. Not to mention, if they do have baby kittens, the kittens will likely suffer and may not survive if stuck in a shelter with their feral mom.

Feral cats just don't belong in shelters. They deserve better. Trap Neuter Return is the most humane solution for feral cats. Reach out to your local shelter or rescue for more information.

**Robin is being used as an example! She was not here at FCAC!**

If you are caring for cats in your neighborhood please get them spayed or neutered. It doesn't take long before that one cat multiplies into many more and the free roaming cat population is out of control.

Cats add up VERY quickly!
Don't wait - spay & neuter that first free-roaming cat you see!!!
