Someone cared enough…
That’s what the corner of that cat’s ear being tipped (cut off) means. Someone cared enough.

Someone cared enough to take time out of their day for that wild cat. To load up trapping supplies, go to the trapping location, set traps, monitor traps, and wait hours in most cases to fill traps. Then to bring them home in the traps and get them set up somewhere overnight and care for them. To drive them to the vet the next day, wait in line, and check them in for surgery. To pay (or get vouchers) for them to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated. If they are extra nice, they pay extra for flea meds and dewormer, knowing it will only last a month, but knowing that might be the only month of repriece they have in their whole life from being eating alive.

Someone cared enough to drive back the next day and pick them up from the vet and in most cases house them for a day or two for recovery. In that time they care for them and make sure they are healing from surgery well. Then they drive them back to the trapping location and release them back to their outdoor home. From there, back home to clean and wash the traps and supplies to be ready for next time. This takes HOURS. Hours for a feral street cat that so many people hate.

So that feral cat you see out there with an ear tip, someone cared enough to take the time to give them a better life. To stop the cycle. To try to tackle the overpopulation and suffering. To help curb the testosterone driven territorial fights and spraying. To help that female not get pyometria from having litter after litter until she dies. To try to keep the numbers down so less people threaten their lives.

That indoor cat with the ear tip…someone cared a little extra. They saw that cat had potential to thrive in a life off the streets and they gave them that chance. They worked with them to overcome their fears so they wouldn’t live that harsh street life with a much shorter life expectancy than indoor cats.

That ear tip is how us trappers identify a cat that has already been spayed/neutered. It is a quick way to look at a feral cat and know if they have been fixed or not. This helps us not trap the same cats and send them through the stress of transport to the vet repeatedly, because we can see they have already been fixed. If a cat with an ear tip ends up in the trap, we can just release them immediately and keep trying until we get a cat that is not ear tipped.

Some people don’t like how the ear tip looks, or how painful it might be (it’s done under anesthesia during their spay/neuter surgery) but that ear tip is a badge of honor. Someone cared enough.

We, along with our rescue partners, have already assisted in getting out over 10 dogs, provided flea/tick medication to those still on site, but there are many more left behind. The dogs and puppies range from 3 months to 8 years old. For every kennel we can open at our adoption event we can rescue more and secure their freedom immediately!! The person that had these dogs will be evicted Saturday and the dogs left behind will be euthanized due to no space. You can see flyers of our amazing Castaways on page! Please come adopt Saturday, August 17, 2024, at Petsmart 863 Oglethorpe Hwy, Hinesville, GA!!! Dogs over 12 months are 100.00 and puppies under 12 months are 150.00. This fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccination, and a 6-month supply of flea and tick preventative. Come out and help us rescue the little furkids!
