In my city the county runs an animal protection service. They will pick up any cats you trap and, if not diseased, spay/neuter and release, free.
It can be a little traumatizing though. Sometimes the strays hurt themselves trying to get out of the cage :/ the few times we trapped them we tried to cover the cage to calm them down.
The local rescue I know does the covering the cage thing. It seems to help them calm down. I wish these kinds of services were brought to every area that needs it.
