Although I see the wisdom in this (eg, the cat problem will just perpetuate itself if left alone, and the life of a stray cat in West Philly must be far less than idyllic and maybe you're doing them a favor, etc.), I just couldn't bring myself to do this. Especially after we saved Mr. Hugs from The Street.
I think, by and large, spaying cats and releasing them back into the "wild" is too expensive to do on a mass scale.

To keep this cromulent to university city, I should add that watson, aka "mr
hugs" was part of the west philly stray/abandoned cat community who I
brought in hoping to find his real owner. Had he been a lost/abandoned dog I
probably would have done the same thing, but west philadelphia doesn't have
a wild dog problem.
I'd be very interested in participating in some sort of _solution_ to the wild cat problem in this part of the city, if anybody has any advice -- I think "spay and release" is probably the way to go, but I don't know anywhere that will do that for free.
(if you're interested, you can read my travel diary, "Letters from Bucharest" which does doccument the stray dog problem in Romania: http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/pix/travel/bucharest-2001/1.html)
