We live in the country and as a result our house seems to be the favorite place for people to drop off cats. In our area the local shelters are a "no kill" and they wont take stray cats. I have even found one frozen in a dumpster. (we live close to the recycling area) We have taken in 5 cats, had them all neutered and shots. They are wonderful pets. But a couple of months ago another one showed up and is really a nice cat. He is a male and has a notch cut in his ear, like they do when they neuter one. He does not chase the other two females but he does to have his testicles. One male cat we had neutered, every thing was cut off, another one still has his pouch. I guess they just cut his testicles out and left the bag. Is it possible to neuter one and not take his testicles out. Like a vasectomy?. If we keep him we will have to take him to get his shots, could a vet tell? Last year a small kitten showed up and it looked like some one had poured gasoline on his rear and set it on fire. We took it to the vet but they really didn't want to help much. We kept it for a few days, it was the nicest kitty, it begin to get infected with maggots and were eating it alive, though we were treating it. It I had to kill it, I buried it under a maple tree at my shop and named him "happy" because he bought happiness into our life for the short time he was here.
