TNR is a program most counties now have instead of euthanizing them. Most people don't want to kill feral cats and they do control rodents and other pests. So..to get them under control around here I'm trapping as many as I can and building traps for anyone who wants one so the county will pick them up to spay, neuter, give shots and release them. 
To bad I have a soft spot for them or I'd drown them , I don't want a gazillion more cats running around next year as well.. 4 down already with more to go.. 

Are you spay/neutering them yourself?  My G'pa used to catch cats on his farm and do the same thing.  He used to stick the heads down one of his boots and take out his sharp knife.  I guess that was just to the male cats....female cats I don't know what he did with.
