Ear Tipping

Too often cats are brought in to WAG for a “feral package” and have to go through the stressful process of being trapped, fasted, transported, anesthetized and sometimes even surgery, only to learn that they’ve already been fixed. By ear tipping, it’s possible for the trapper to be aware, even before trapping, that the cat is already fixed.

Ear tipping involves taking off only about 1/4th of an inch while the cat is anesthetized.

The result is not very noticeable unless you’re looking for it.
