Feral cats who have been through a Trap-Neuter-Return TNR program will usually have an eartip, which is a universal symbol used to identify neutered free-roaming cats. Other TNR programs may use ear notches or use the right ear instead of the left. Ear-tipped cats have already been sterilized and rabies vaccinated, and can be left where they are found. Your first step is to stop by your nearest AHS shelter location during open shelter hours Monday-Friday 12—8 p.
Our staff will show you how to set and bait the trap. A tipped ear indicates that the cat has already been sterilized and vaccinated, so you can simply leave that cat alone.
Ear-tipped cats that are surrendered will be returned to the community. Call our Pet Helpline at to let them know you have a feral cat in a live trap, and they will set up an appointment for you to bring the cat to an AHS shelter. A community cat is sedated, spayed or neutered, given a rabies vaccine and an eartip to help identify him or her as a sterilized feral. The cat is allowed to rest in shelter overnight to ensure full recovery from anesthesia.
Staff will then call the finder to pick up and return the cat to the trapping location. Contact us at or send us a message. Community Cats. Post-op care.
