If you are seeking guidance on trapping, we have guidelines (see above) for the appropriate way to trap. Lower Paxton Township is here to help residents manage the feral cat population. It is the universally accepted way to signify that a community cat has been spayed or neutered, which means no new kittens will be born. Ear TippingĮar tipping involves surgically removing a small portion of one of a cat’s ears while the cat is under anesthesia for sterilization. After they’ve recovered from their surgeries, the cats are returned back to their original territory where a caretaker provides regular food and shelter. They’re then spayed (females) or neutered (males), vaccinated and ear tipped. The cats, who typically live together in a group called a colony, are trapped and brought to a veterinary clinic. TNR generally includes: assessment of colonies humane trapping, maintenance with food, fresh water, and shelter and monitoring to ensure that newcomers are altered immediately. This is a management strategy for humanely reducing populations of free-roaming domestic cats.
