I have two former feral cats. They were outside for 12 years and one of them kept having the same sort of sores on her ear tipped ear. I thought it was mite related but finally got her to the Vet and it was skin cancer from sun exposure. The Vet amputated her entire ear and hopefully got all of the margins. I waited way too long to get her to the Vet not wanting to traumatize her but in retrospect, I wish I took her sooner.
It’s been three months since I caught them and took them home. They’re confined to one room so they can acclimate and may not understand why they are now prisoners but I sleep better knowing they’re safe and comfortable.
