Exactly. With every feral cat you re-locate, move or send to a shelter there
is another that will take his or her place. TNR is the best thing you can do
for ferals as well as providing them a feeding/water station.

Don't buy a trap; keep your cats inside. If you are concerned about the
health of the "feral" cat (which is just as likely an abandoned pet or
even a neglected neighbor's pet), then use the trap to capture it and get
it to a vet for combo test/vaccination/sterilization. (You are not
concerned, I know; just thought I would throw that in.)

Something that just maybe you can relate to...killing one cat will not
"protect" your roving pets. There is always another "feral" cat out
there. And plenty of other dangers to your cats to worry about (cars,
dogs, injury, etc.). Your best protection for your pets is to keep their
vaccinations current, get yearly exams, and keep them inside.

As for the cat you want to kill; make an effort instead to find a rescue
org in your area that will give it some assistance and just maybe a home
that will care for it.
