Friends and supporters of Ambassadors,
Please consider bringing in some of the items needed for the Thanksgiving Dinner the The Christian Center will be providing to people in need on Thanksgiving. We have already received some wonderful donations, as well as monetary donations to pick up items once our drive is over.
Our store is open this coming Saturday, November 15th and items can be dropped off at that time. We thank you so much for helping us help The Christian Center. They help so many people all year round and they definitely need some help from the community to provide this meal.

Mittens and patches are on the look for their forever home.

One of our amazing fosters reached out to us a couple months back to see if we could help these girls find a new home. Their owner passed away unexpectedly and she stepped up to take them in.

They have been doing well and are ready to find a new home.

Mittens is a 3 year old black and white girl that has extra toes!! She’s beautiful and has the personality to match.

Patches is a 6 year old stunning calico. The loss of her owner has been harder on patches but she still continues to award us with her loving nose boops.

Both girls are great with other cats but are not very fond of dogs.

Their adoption fees are $75 and they do not have to be adopted together.

This is such good information about fleas. Please take your pets flea infestation seriously. They could die from anemia. If you don't currently give your pets flea preventative, come see us Saturday. We do sell flea preventatives.

🐾Tuesday’s Tip🐾
Flea Anemia in Dogs and Cats

It is important to get the message out early: Fleas aren't just a nuisance. They drink blood, and blood loss can kill.

In almost every case, the owner had no idea that flea infestation could be lethal.

It is hard to imagine that something as tiny as a flea could be dangerous. It is common knowledge fleas can make pets itch. Many pet owners are familiar with the spectacular skin inflammation in a flea-bite-allergic pet, but many people forget that fleas drink blood and that lots of fleas can drink a lot of blood. The physical state of inadequate red blood cells is called anemia, and when it is severe enough, it is a life-threatening condition.

Pets will not itch from their fleas unless they are allergic to flea bites. No scratching does not mean no fleas.

It is easy to underestimate a pet’s infestation. Only animals allergic to flea bites will itch from their fleas. This means that the animal who is not allergic to flea bites will not be scratching or losing hair. Thus, an owner may not realize that the pet has a heavy infestation. If your pet is effective at licking and self-grooming, it may be hard to see the fleas, especially if the owner does not have a flea comb. Do not rely on your own ability to see the fleas; use reliable flea control regardless of what you see or do not see.

Check for Flea Dirt

The black, pepper-like specks found in an infested pet’s coat are actually bits of blood that have been sucked up by the flea and excreted in neat little packages to feed the larval fleas that hatch in the environment. Even if live fleas are not seen, flea dirt means that live fleas are there.

Who Is Most Vulnerable?

It takes a lot of fleas to produce enough blood loss to create a life-threatening situation for the host pet, but it still happens commonly. The following situations are high risk for flea anemia:

Very young kittens being raised outdoors or by a mother cat who goes outdoors. Young kittens are small and do not have blood to spare. Furthermore, they are growing and trying to expand their blood volume; they are too young to groom themselves effectively and remove their own fleas. Flea anemia is probably the number one cause of death in open-household kittens.
Elderly cats who go outdoors. The elderly cat is often debilitated from other metabolic problems. Grooming is less efficient, and an older cat is just not strong enough to withstand much blood loss.
Outdoor puppies' situation is similar to that of kittens’: too small to effectively groom and trying to grow in the face of ongoing blood loss.
Eventually, the weakness catches up with these animals, and they will die unless they receive a blood transfusion.

Please support the proposed Trap Neuter Return (TNR) ordinance, which will be presented for its 2nd and 3rd reading at the Anderson City Council meeting this Thursday, November 13th at 6pm.
Kitties like the ones in this post are helped through our TNR efforts. Many kitties are born to feral cats living in cat colonies, and many never live beyond 4 months of age. It's a tough life for them. Had we not rescued these kitties they would have died horrible deaths. That's another reason why TNR is so important. It's not just about stopping the breeding cycle but it's also about saving lives.
Thank you for your support!

Handsome Johnny is looking for his special someone.

Johnny was supposed to be in the TNR program but he was just too sweet to let back outside!

Johnny is such a character. He loves attention and will roll over for belly rubs.

He would prefer a low activity home because he gets stressed with alot of commotion.

His adoption fee is $75
