Feral cats

That's really awesome. I sincerely wish we had that here.

I take care of a feral colony along with a couple of friends and have for years. They are all fixed. If a new kitty shows up, a trap gets set up. Sometimes, people don't have the resources or knowledge of how TNR works. If there is a no-kill shelter in your area, they will usually have a TNR program. If there isn't isn't a no kill shelter, then start reaching out to rescues. If your neighbors aren't willing to trap them, the shelter will come and do it, then release them back. If they are reasonable, I understand not everyone is, then a nice conversation about how much money they will save on food plus the health benefits of the cats. Best of luck!

In my area the animal shelter runs a program with a local vet for low cost spay and neuter. It really is going to depend on what you want to do. Remember you have to live with these neighbors, and the said backlash of certain actions. I don't disagree with dispatching an animal that is actively trying/has killed one of my animals. If you take it to the pound here if it is feral and not a very small kitten it will probably be put down. It is really a sticky situation. I would work on securing your coop! That is really the best solution!
