In my city, the TNR program took about 5000 feral/stray cats out of the breeding cycle last year - spayed or neuter, vaccinated, released back. Given that the estimated number of ferals in the city is around 200,000, that's a small but healthy percentage. There is also an active 'colony caretaker' program that helps ensure that these non-breeding clowders are fed and protected.
