Ear-Tipping Cats: What It Is and Why It’s Done<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ear-tipping involves surgically removing a small portion of one of a\u00a0cat’s ears\u00a0while the\u00a0cat\u00a0is under anesthesia for spay or neuter surgery. It is the universally accepted way to signify that a community cat\u00a0has been spayed or neutered, which means no new kittens will be born, and that’s a good thing.<\/p>\n

Too often cats are brought into clinics for surgery and have gone through the stressful process of being trapped, fasted, transported, anesthetized and sometimes even surgery, only to learn that they\u2019ve already been fixed. By ear tipping, it\u2019s possible for the trapper to be aware, even before trapping, that the cat is already fixed.<\/p>\n

Does ear-tipping hurt the cat?<\/h2>\n

Ear-tipping is extremely safe and is performed while the cat is already anesthetized for spay or neuter surgery. There is little or no bleeding involved, and it is not painful to the cat. The ear heals up quickly and the tipped ear doesn\u2019t detract one bit from the appearance or beauty of the cat.
