Saw this on Facebook this morning. Thought it was interesting. Has anyone ever seen a cat with a clipped ear like this?
TNR Cats?

fake... I dunno about that actually, but I call BS on the info, I have A TON of feral cats living by me and they don't give a hoot about the other cat living 1m away...
Yeah, I wasn't sure what to make of it...Hence why I ask. Maybe its a new program and its just hasn't gotten everywhere yet?
They have adds about this from time to time on the craigslist around here. I'm not sure but it seems pretty legit and they are always looking for volunteers.
This is legit. They do it where I live. They spay and notch the cat and re-release it into the neighborhood.

Unfortunately, this is happening everywhere now. It is also the cause to some of the largest rabies outbreaks in recent times, as well as the cause of untold damages to native wildlife, including putting many endangered species on the brink of extinction. Rare and endangered sea-mammals are now dying off along all coastal regions from the run-off from the land carrying these cats' Toxoplasma gondii parasites. This is a man-made invasive-species, and as such are an even bigger man-made ecological disaster than an oil-spill. This is an ecological disaster that is now going worldwide on every continent. Cats destroying all animals in every ecosystem, from smallest of prey up to the top predators that are starved to death from cats destroying their only food sources. (Precisely what happened on my own land, until I shot and buried the hundreds of them that had caused it.)
Not long ago I learned that TNR cat-hoarders practice a form of "TNR-On-A-Budget" (my name for it). TNR cat-hoarders who want to keep feeding their cats but can't afford all that tedious mucking-about and getting them sterilized or vaccinated just trap the cats and clip the cats' ears themselves. Then release them again right after clipping their ears. Doing their best to hide all evidence of where they keep these colonies and telling few about them. This way the cat if trapped again just gets released right there so the cat-hoarder can continue to dote-over and feed their unsterilized and unvaccinated cats. Plus everyone else who might happen on their secret cat-hoarding locations thinks those cats are sterilized and vaccinated so they have fewer concerns about them still overbreeding or spreading deadly diseases. The TNR cat-hoarder feeder just tells them, "Oh, don't worry. See that clipped ear? They are sterilized and vaccinated. Perfectly fine and legal!"
Thanks to these "TNR-On-A-Budget" people, clipped-eared cats must be trapped and euthanized or destroyed on-site -- the only affordable and sane solution for everyone.
If you doubt what I claim about TNR-cat-hoarding addicts practicing "TNR-On-A-Budget", then perhaps you might enjoy this post I found to again prove everything I say is 100% true. They don't talk about this practice too openly, just like they like to hide their cat-hoarders' colonies and how they attempt to do so (also revealed in the thread this post was taken from, verifiable link below).
"Chris Cook
We had a culling of the neighborhood cats 2 years ago when there were only 10 or so (I lost 4 under my care in the same week). Now there's over 25 - that I know about (about half fixed)... it's just a matter of time before someone decides they have the 'solution' to the cat 'problem'. All I can do is get them tipped (in case Animal Services gets them, there's a small chance they'll release them back to the area they caught them) and hope for the best by making my own yard a hidden sanctuary of sorts. At least my HOA knows I'm TNRing them and not just feeding them so they (for now) look the other way while slamming the feeders-and-breeders who contributed to the problem getting out of hand and refusing any and all offers of assistance."

Not only is this criminally irresponsible TNR practitioner hoarding and feeding unsterilized cats, she even attracted MORE cats to keep reproducing -- which again disproves their oft-spewed "vacuum effect" LIE. While also lying to her HOA to boot. She even believes that what she is doing *is* TNR, that's just how demented these people are. I'd say this person reflects the norm rather than the exception, since TNR advocates relentlessly lie about so much and so often.
Hint: for those of you permanently solving cat-hoarder's ILLEGAL TNR invasive-species colonies by stepping up their rate of "attrition" (i.e. death by any means necessary, a favorite term "attrition" that TNR advocates use to candy-coat how all their cats cruelly suffer to death); look around for any game/field/trail-cameras that might be hidden from immediate view, then collect them as a souvenir and payment for your well-deserved efforts.
The ONLY difference between rats and cats is that people who own and love pet-rats aren't severely mentally unbalanced and trying to hoard sterilized feral-rat populations on other people's public and private properties -- while also relentlessly petitioning all their lawmakers to do so.
Pet-rat owners, and all other types of pet owners, at least have THEIR sh** together.
If only the same were true of all these mentally-ill TNR cat-hoarders.
I still think it's their cats' Toxoplasma gondii parasites in the cat-lovers' brains that make them so unfalteringly blind to their own stupidity, hypocrisy, and absolute absurdity.

yep they do that in my area too...with pretty good results as far as i can tell, i work at a maximum security prison and we have a large cat population so we trapped them and fixed them then re-released them and unlike other prisons with rat, mice and even bug problems our prison is pretty clean and vermin free
