Default Stray cat

Anyone know where I might take a cat that I'm going to trap? Are there any local shelters or a rescue home that might accept a cat? A stray has been coming into our yard at night for a couple of weeks now and bothering our two cats. We're in a courtyard villa and it jumps the fence into our yard and tries to get into the lanai.
I don't want to drive it out into the country, but if I can't find a place to take it, I'll have to resort to that. Not sure if it's a pet, it really doesn't act like a feral. I've asked around locally and no one seems to know anything about it. Would appreciate any info on where to take it.

It's possible that the cat is a neighbor's cat. Some people allow their cats to roam at night and this is a perfect example of what can happen. Poof your cat disappears. Please be aware; this is only one of the many dangers your cat can face when allowed to roam.

Tommy hopefully someone will have an answer for you, I don't. Too many cats and too few shelters. It's sad.

Put a description of the kitty on Talk of the Villages, and maybe if it is a neighbors, they will keep it in their home where domestic cats belong.

Also put the info on WVLG as a possible lost cat.

Tommyboy, the last few days there has been two lost cats in the LOST & FOUND section of the Daily Sun. Maybe the cat you are writing about is lost and attracted by your cats and their cozy lanai. Please check it out. Another thing, call the local radio station and describe the cat and they will announce it as a found cat. Please try everything you can before you take any drastic action and keep us posted. Thanks
