Yes. TNR, trap, neuter, release works very well to help control the cat overpopulation.    Most feeders of stray cats do try to do TNR.

They need to transfer half of them to New York City where they can help with the rodent problems there.

That was four years ago.  Now there are a trillion stray cats!

Tose are good but not what I had in mind.

I'm not an advocate for TNR- I've rescued all my life( quite a few colonies in my day)I just can't support capturing an animal and bringing him back to be susceptible to predators,diseases,parasites, starvation or malnutrition,thirst,accidents- uh,can't bear to think of it

I've placed ferals on ranches,in barns &:such,socialized them to get the unadoptable adopted and now I'm old,very tired and cannot do what I used to ....I am working will a 7yr old  F1 TNR that had such a traumatic capture it's taken me nearly 1 yr to willingly come inside .... Increasing time little by little but litter training an old rogue feral ain't for the faint of heart-: lol----anyway,if you can capture it,you can place it- imo

Our Russian Blue was feral for the first ten months of her life and she's still got a wild streak in her.   You should have seen her when I tried to give her a bath when the flea stuff caused a serious reaction.   I came really close to doing her in.

The little round marks are full penetration bites that went to the bone.

@kwikphilly BTW, changing the subject - but not really - this phrase 'get the unadoptable adopted' can really be a figure of the power of the Gospel among believers (as per those in Romans 8 who are now led by the Spirit of adoption, who cry Abba, Father...)

....but I know this was not in your intended meaning for this thread, anyway; just thought of it.
