THIS. Please read and know this pretty sums up how every shelter and rescue feels right now.
SPAY and NEUTER is the answer to this overpopulation of animals in our communities. We sell LOW COST Spay/Neuter vouchers for those in need. Please come see us this Saturday, 10-4pm to purchase and schedule.
Shop our store. The store revenue is what gives us the funds to help so many people with vouchers.

Rescues are just trying to stay above water… 🌊
We are drowning and there is no life preserver in sight. 🛟
Making threats of killing an animal if we don’t take them doesn’t help anyone. We are constantly just trying to get by one emergency to the next. One desperate intake need to the next. This past week alone I have said no to helping DOZENS of cats. We are beyond full.
We can’t help every one. It’s a tough reality. No rescue can say yes to every intake. If you’ve ever gone down the list contacting rescues trying to find placement for a found animal, you know how hard it can be to find placement. The person on the other end saying “no” to helping, it is not for lack of caring or wanting to help. It is SO hard saying no. There just are not enough rescues, fosters, or homes to accommodate the current overpopulation crisis we are in.
This time of year is emotionally and mentally exhausting for rescuers. We hate saying no. We know other rescues are full. We don’t like knowing the sad reality of the ones we say no to, that don’t find another rescue. We can only do what we can do. It constantly feels like we are not doing enough. Every rescue you reach out to is constantly scrambling trying to figure out where they can house one more animal to help. Being sure to not crossing the line of becoming a hoarder or being in way over their heads and not being able to provide proper care for the animals they currently have. We have to say no. We cannot help or save them all.
If you reach out to a rescue for help, know that it is just regular people like you giving all of their time and energy, for free, trying to help as many animals in need as possible. Don’t try to make us feel bad for not being able to help you because we are already in over our heads and doing the best we can.
Be patient. Be understanding. Be kind.

We are seeing some complaints and concerns about the abuse and neglect of animals, and people feeling frustrating, not receiving any follow up from animal control in Anderson. Kris Ockomon, who served as the Senior Humane Officer, is now retired. Mike Anderson, the assistant police chief is serving as the interim for this position until a new one is hired. Mike can be reached at 648-6747.
Be sure that you are calling dispatch at 648-6775. If you call and there is no response, we suggest you call again and do another report or contact Mike Anderson.

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!
