Is there any evidence that TNR programs have reduced numbers of feral cats in a community?

I looked and couldn’t find anything but perhaps some of y’all are more knowledgeable.
TNR is the idea that instead of euthanizing feral cats, we should neuter or spay them and relaease them back into the wild with the idea that will reduce the number of feral cats.

So they can shite in flowerbeds, kill native birds and still be a general nuisance. I would prefer raccoons

worked in grand isle
they found out most the cats on the island had feline leukemia so they died shortly after being spayed/neutered

why would that not reduce the number of feral cats?

Stray cats in south Louisiana are against it because they are mostly catholic.

Feral cats serve a “natural” purpose. Same as garden snakes and many other urban type animals.
I’ve always thought it was a good plan to keep down a huge population.
I’m pretty sure after Katrina the feral cat population exploded.

There is no way to achieve 100% compliance, so some are always breeding.
But how would Euthanasia not achieve the same thing?

I would think that eliminating cats' ability to reproduce would reduce the number of feral cats in a certain area, but I am certainly no rocket biologist.

Nothing more natural than decimating the populations of native birds.

Sure, but how is it preferable to euthanizing the cat after it is trapped?

Considering feline leukemia is transmittable, I’m not sure if euthanizing them or spaying / neutering them then letting them spread the contagion is a better solution.

A suppressed .22 would work better, just saying

Because the fixed cats then continue to compete with the unfixed ones for food, thus reducing population. And they'll probably kill kittens they come across.
If there is less competition for food, the....fertile?...cats will continue to flourish.
