Out of our 7 cats, one was feral, the rest came from different shelters in our area. Like you, when we were finally able to trap 'Rufus' and get him to the vet for neutering and ear tipping, it was such a relief. He now condescends (3 years later) to let us feed him and stroke him while he's eating, but stays out all day. We don't allow any of ours out overnight because of the coyotes, mainly, and other dangers. If everyone who has feral cats in their neighborhood would act accordingly, we would not have so many in these high-kill shelters. I do keep nesting boxes ~ crates with straw in them and a tarp overhead ~ just in case some inhumane human decides to dump in this area.
