Palm Valley Animal Society "Just because you see a cat roaming the neighborhood, doesn’t mean you have to call animal control. Chances are, “loose” cats may have been spay/neutered already. Just look at the ears! If you notice a “tipped” left ear, then that cat has been picked up before, “fixed”, and released back into the wild. And it’s okay! Not only will they not be reproducing, throwing our local cat populations into a flummox, cats are equipped to live outdoors, in the heat as well as cold. So unless your neighborhood cat looks sick or injured, don’t call Animal Control. Look for the ears, and call US instead. Thanks to Best Friends Animal Society, we have a Community Cat Program with coordinators who would be happy to answer your questions or go out and personally check on your local alley cat. Just another way we can all work together to make a difference! #rgvcats #rgvlife #pvastx See Less " FACEBOOK POST - 10/21/2020
