They take them to catch and release centers. Cats are extremely invasive and have already led to the extinction of at least 63 species of birds, mammals, and reptiles.
I guess you've never heard of this before but it's a pretty common thing. The catch and release volunteers around where I live are saints. Not only do they take care of the cats, feed them, and usually give them other medical treatment, but they also protect the local ecosystem
well I mean proving humans caused an extinction is probably a lot easier than proving cats did, but how about this:
1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually
If we're not counting factory farms, the closest comparison I could find is:
> We estimate that from 500 million to possibly over 1 billion birds are killed annually in the United States due to anthropogenic sources including collisions with human-made structures
Regardless, this is obviously a huge fucking problem. Short of neutering the local humans, these ladies are probably doing the single most effective thing you can do with your time if you care about preserving the local ecosystem
