Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / July 2008You gotta hear this one
I don't know whose worst- the owners or the clinic. http://maxshouse.com/Rosa_Feature.htm | I don't know whose worst- the owners or the clinic. | | http://maxshouse.com/Rosa_Feature.htm Owners, for being so shallow. But then again, maybe it's a good thing they didn't take Rosa back... This has happened to me in TNR projects, where in the rush and chaos of a mass S/N, potentially adoptable kittens get eartipped along with the adults, sometimes even despite specifically asking the techs not to. And, sadly, this has affected their adoptability. But sometimes eartips can add to the charm. My Marie's eartip is special. It's on the wrong ear (the right) and it's a hefty chunk taken out (about a third of the ear). It was also the very first eartip performed by someone who is now a big name in cat rescue, when he was training as a vet tech.:-) > | I don't know whose worst- the owners or the clinic. > | > | http://maxshouse.com/Rosa_Feature.htm > > Owners, for being so shallow.

And, sadly, this has affected their adoptability. I'm not so sure I believe the whole story the shelter gave us. The tip doesn't look like a clean cut. > But sometimes eartips can add to the charm.

Unfortunately, its the only method that's universally recognized. We've been trapping- actually scruffing- a lot of friendly cats this year, more than previous years. Many were already neutered so they were probably dumped. Phil . > I don't know whose worst- the owners or the clinic. > > http://maxshouse.com/Rosa_Feature.htm I vote for the owners. I can't imagine abandoning a pet because of such asn incredibly minor thing. (Well, actually I can't imagine abandoning a pet at all, but you know what I mean.) If they have kids, are they going to drop them off at the local teen group home when they get acne? . >I can't imagine abandoning a pet because of such asn incredibly minor thing. I had to look twice and closely to even see the ear tipping! What a lovely cat! I hope she finds a home real soon!

The mind boggles.  SignatureJean B. |
