How times change! Back in the day we took care of feral cats with a .22. Unless this is totally funded by donations, today those cats get exams, neutering, and shots at Joe Taxpayer's expense, at least in part, so they go on living their lives in the wild and doing what wild kitties naturally do.
Trap 'em. If they're domestic (i.e. chipped, or with an ID collar) then try to find the owner. But if not, it doesn't make much sense to me to spend money just to release them back into nature.
Seems like misplaced priorities to me.
