From the article...

Collette Walker, one of Triple R's coordinators, said the organization doesn't recruit caretakers. The caretakers come to her.

"They are the people who have been caring for outside cats and nobody has known about them. They are the people who know if they call animal control, the cats will be taken away and euthanized. They often try to fly under the radar and watch them reproduced until the neighbors start complaining," Walker said.

My moms neighbor started feeding one stray kitten. A few years later she was feeding 4 feral cats (1 male, 3 females). The neighbors did complain and they tried to trap them, but she didn't want them euthanized.

She then heard of a place a few months ago (don't know if it was this one or not) where they would trap, spay or neuter, give shots and release back by her house, for a nominal fee. When they brought the cats back, she was told that 2 of them were pregnant. These pregnancies were aborted. If she hadn't done this, there could have been 12 feral cats by now.
