I adopted a suuuuuuper sweet 7 month old kitten about a month ago. I am confused on his history though. I feel like he was trapped, intended for TNR but then put him up for adoption instead of release due to his clipped ear? Don't they only normally clip the ears if they neuter/release? His papers said he was feral and on the same day performed a neuter, ear clip and microchip. Anyone know why they would have done this? Or is this typical? I got him from the Humane society. He is quite literally the sweetest little guy I have ever met, nothing feral about him!
