In most colonies I TNR, the people want to know the cat will be safe if it is adopted, as with kittens or friendlies, or returned to them to keep up the mouse patrol/ to just be a community buddy they collectively care for.

You get a few insane people who just want the cats gone, but if a culture includes feeding cats, removing the specific cat the insane hater wants gone, does nothing because another will take its place when the higher volume of people keep feeding, throwing chicken out the window, or with poor trash practices that attracted the cat to begin with.
