Two shelters in my area have TNR operations. And if the cats are deemed unable to be domesticated they are available as barn cats.

We eradicate five, three of whom went walkabout. Two have been together now for 7 years. Still feral. Can’t get much closer than 10 feet of them. They keep the mouse population down and we also feed them.

Like most cats, they are very funny and ridiculously cute, even if they are feral.
