Nala ventures in to the outside a lot. Luckily our neighbourhood is nice, so it's not a problem, but I was surprised when she had this on her collar.

I thought it was really nice that our neighbours were concerned for her! Address blocked out for privacy reasons.

And here's the little culprit! :3 I'll be sure to send another note back!

Do we have the same cat? My kitten looks exactly like this

You can be a responsive owner without contact info on a collar. It's called a microchip

Which involves a visit to a vet or shelter to read, and you hope the owner has kept it updated between moves. Easier to read a tag.

Ear snip means she's a fixed stray... she was captured and they went to fix her and found she already was (or they fixed her if she wasn't)

That's what it means. But when I picked out my kitty, she wasn't snipped. The next day she went for her spay and the same clinic who did it

The use that here to indicate that it is a spayed/neutered stray.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yeah, here it's to let you know that it's a stray who has been neutered and not to move or bring to a shelter unless it's injured.

The mobile clinic who spays/ neuters the strays here is the same one who does spay/neuters for the shelters when a cat is adopted. My kitty
