All our cats have been "helped" as soon we get them.
No clipping of the ears too, i don't think that that serves any purpose other as hurting the cats.

Cor, this is to identify feral (wild) cats that have been fixed. This is a very good and humane program.
My pet "outside" cat is chipped, and his information is on the web if you scan him.
Milhous chased a fox out of the yard this this morning.
Poor fox was scared of the mean kitty.

Sans clipped ear, our new arrival looks exactly like the pic you posted, George. I suspect some ass-hat went around the neighborhood dumping a litter, as this critter is far too clean to have spent its entire infancy outside.
He's got a good home now. As far as the other cats go...they're still giving us the occasional "WTF?" look.

Love cats still miss the one that passed away 3 years ago. Lots of strays in the area and they're starting to trust me...

This is mesmerizing! Also very accurate.
We have three little psychos...i mean, cats. When we come home from work, they all slowly wake up, stretch, yawn and walk away to eat or shit. The dogs are awake and happy to see us. Late at night, the dogs, and us, are fast asleep, then it starts...
...budumbudumbudumbudumbudum.........budumbudumbud um......BAM!!!......meow........meow............me ow.....meow.....thump.....budumbudumbudumbudum.... .meow.....
Then we feel one of the Persians jump up on the bed for what we call 'the morning meows' (morning meaning ungodly hours that simply arent fair to working folks). The little turd meows, nudges our hand, meows, nudges our face, climbs up and balances all four of his litterbox flavored feet on my forehead, turns around so i get a full panoramic, and extremely close view of his hairy butthole! Then he climbs onto my pillow, meowing, and proceeds to start kneading, which usually includes the top of my head. Then he meows some more, sticking his furry mug right in mine and purring loudly the entire time, his head all slobbery from the kneading...then sneezes right into my face. If i pull the pillow over my head, he pushes it off and sneezes into my mouth...just to be an asshole, i think. Every fucking morning we do this! And thats just ONE of them! My wife has her own 'morning meows' horror story.
We love our cats, though. The fat Persian is awesome, but all three of them beat the living shit out of eachother all night, the dogs just look at us as if to say "can you please put a stop to this?"...nope, sorry. They are nuts and thats just the nature of cats.

There is fallacy in the notion that a spayed or neutered feral does anything to the feral population of any given area a natural doesn't do. Cats by nature are indeed territorial and will fight others on their turf sterilized or not. When a female has kittens naturally the local population rises by the number of survivors, but as soon as they learn to hunt on their own she will chase them away returning the population to one. Studies have shown? I love that self serving phrase, anyone who knows how a study is performed knows that like a computer it works on the GIGO principle or like Tim Leary said about an acid trip, you get out of it what you brought into it. To the still confused, a study is conducted to produce desired results thus keeping those funding the study happy and the money coming in.
Bottom line; whomever wrote that crap doesn't know cats but loves the money funding the project.
My opinion? Feral cats are a farmer's best friend, they're mousers. Adopt a feral today and you'll be free of vermin and there's a bonus, you don't have to buy cat food.

Altered ferals don't reproduce, and stabilize the size of the resident colony. The TNR (Trap and release) program here has a stack of 40 or so research studies done by Cornell on the subject, and I can get their titles if you like.
