Contact one of the TNR people from the Cat Crazy Villagers group. They will trap the cats, get them neutered, get them basic shots. If the cats are not feral they will try to find homes for them.

We have a family of several small bobcats that live in the preserve behind our house. It’s fun to watch them walk along the fence bordering the preserve, looking out for small critters to pounce on for a snack.

We see bobcats crossing St Charles near Buttonwood Run in the mornings. Looking for rabbits and small dogs probably.

And if they are feral do they still trap, neuter, basic shots before releasing them? Feral cats and dogs, in my humble opinion, because they can be so destructive to wildlife, should be treated like an invasive species. I hate to sound cold, but one feral cat equals God only knows how many dead birds, squirrels, rabbits, lizards, baby alligators, etc.
