How cats living outside suffer without intervention:

• The kittens multiply quickly- they get sick easily, get injured or attacked

• Adult males fight & become injured

• Even for those who are adoptable- there simply aren't enough homes available

TNR (trap-neuter-return) addresses the root cause: Overpopulation

By preventing births before they happen, we can reduce suffering.

The cats' lives improve greatly when they have access to shelter, a caretaker who feeds them daily and are spayed & neutered. The behavior over mating is stopped and the colony becomes stable.

The ear-tipping is done as part of the TNR program, which involves humanely trapping the cats, bringing them to the clinic for spay/neuter surgery & vaccination, then returning them back to their neighborhoods.

Ear-tipping involves surgically removing a small portion of one of the ears while the cat is under anesthesia for the surgery. It's the universally accepted way to signify the cat has been through the program- which means no new kittens will be born- and that’s a very good thing.

TNR is the best way to humanely reduce the population.
