Lobster, we're that farm.  While I applaud your neighbor, the cats still need to be spayed, neutered, and get their shots.  So we re-trap them and that's what we do.

Actually, your dogs can get worms from the cats.  I'm not aware of heartworm prevent protecting them from other internal parasites, and many cats that are allowed to roam have at least round worm, if not tapeworm, and depending upon the area, giardia, which can be a bitch.  And, sadly, cat poop smells like protein to dogs, so it smells like a tasty treat to them. 

I totally agree - it's an unacceptable situation!  ESPECIALLY if your neighbor claims they're not hers and thus decries any responsibility.  I just didn't know how much work you wanted to put into finding a no kill alternative for them.  That is up to you, I just provide information.  Smiley

Redd - same thing.  There are ways to work with kitties to help with inappropriate scratching, but it does take time.  Sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes it's just too frustrating.  There are also products that can help (sometimes), such as Feliway.  But all of that said, I would much rather see a cat declawed than be surrendered to a shelter for potential euthanization or - as some people do - just put them out on the street.  It's just that so many people think it is similar to having finger nails removed, and it just isn't.  And vets aren't required to provide information on the procedure or its risks.
