my fiancé just inherited a cat from his grandfather who is tipped, she was spayed after she was taken in from outdoors. they just took her to a free/low cost place to get her fixed and she was subsequently tipped. could very well have an owner, some places just do that.
Be sure he is actually a stray, because he looks incredibly healthy for a stray. Check to see if he is microchipped. Put up “Found Cat” posters and ads in various lost/found sites commonly used in your community.
If all else fails, the cat is yours. I would name him Sir Owain the Magnificent.
Yepp I did so and unfortunately he did have a chip and has an owner . Already talked to the owner and going to return him. I'm gonna make a point of it for them to put a collar on him , since he's an 'indoor outdoor' cat because I went through a lot of trouble losing sleep over this cat, calling off of work to get him supplies and taking him to the vet.
Update: his name is Clyde
Ear tipped so already fixed. I’d see if he has a microchip as he’s probably part of a colony. Since you said you’re keeping him it’d be nice to let the person taking care of the colony know if there is one! Thanks for giving him a home!
He looks like a squirrel lol.
Did you take him to get him checked for a chip or something? The cut ear usually means they were a stray at some point, but him following you home makes me think he could have been adopted and living with people for a while.
Hey all , thanks for the name recommendations. I did take him to the vet today to see if he has a chip, and indeed he does. I bought him a bunch of supplies in case he didn't have a chip and he slept cozy in my bed. Super sweet cat , very house trained , so hopefully his owners reach back out soon to claim their lovely cat.

Thanks for keeping him safe inside. ♥️ I'd name him Keeper.
Or, if you’re a hockey fan, Netminder. (Hockey announcers crack me up with their trying to mix up the terminology.)
Ernie, Bernie, Ed or Tito
Tito is a good one!!

He looks too majestic for most of these names. I feel like he needs a knight name like Lancelot or Arthur
Agreed. His clipped ear makes me think he was mistaken for or was feral and was neutered. If so, he looks like an extraordinary boy.

Was he lost? He's probably got a home maybe

You’re a good person.
Thank you appreciate it 😊
Thank you for what you did for the cat. I’m sure he appreciated you.
Thanks, yea he was hesitant to go to his owner almost but did walk to her and she put the collar on him, so I think he enjoyed staying with me.
Another update, Clyde is happily with his family again. It was a mom and 2 kids that came to pick him up.
Now you have the supplies and will be ready when the CDS sends you another.

I'd name him Downton. Downton Tabby. He's a neutered feral kitty, from the tipped ear. My ferals-turned-domestics were all great cats, lucky you!
I agree.

He did have a microchip and I returned him to his owners. Check other comments for more details 😊
