I originally called the local SPCA to set up a visit from their feral trap team (they came out last year) but they were booked through May. That's when I rented the traps for a couple of weeks. I have at least two more (Spaz's sisters) I want to get taken care of before I return the traps but AoA only does feral intakes on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I don't think trapping again so soon will be as effective as letting them have a short break so I'll give it another go this coming Monday.
I think the fact that they're ferals is why there's no waiting list issue; it's *required* for the ferals to be brought inside a trap- it's probably a different system for pets or critters brought inside a regular pet carrier.
There's one stray gal who's been showing up occasionally and evading traps for multiple years... and one gal who's been hanging around pretty closely for at least a year or two even after being caught and spayed. The roaming toms also seem to make their rounds for years, though nowhere near as long as the life span of an indoor pet.
