Community cats—including feral and free-roaming cats—are part of our neighborhoods, and they deserve compassionate, humane solutions. We’ve gathered local resources to help you understand community cats, learn about Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), and find assistance with trapping, spay/neuter, vaccinations, and other needs. Whether you’re caring for a neighborhood cat, managing a colony, or simply want to learn more, these resources can help you take the next step.

What is an eartip?
Eartipping is a surgical procedure done under anesthesia that removes the distal one-quarter of a cat’s left ear. It is the preferred method to identify spayed or neutered and vaccinated community or feral cats, because it is difficult to get close to them and therefore the identification must be visible from a distance. No other method of identification has proven to be as safe or as effective as eartipping.
