Feral cats can be vicious and carry diseases and parasites. Some of us would rather shoot something like that than risk an animal bite or infecting our other animals.
The cat won't be able to bite you in a live trap.
The OP also stated that the cat is friendly towards her chickens...
It's a cat guys... not a raccoon or oppossum or bear or anything like that.
There's no need to get out your gun, set a live trap and let AC take care of it.
