Tell me it's sponsored by PETA or something, because I'm not about to check.

Only shelter here in my city is also no-kill. :-) Our population is under control, though, so there's no overflow -- actually, they've had enough funds through donations and such that they were able to build a new deluxe shelter that's quite amazing. You can see bits of it in the kitty pics at the shelter site here:

I'm not sure if our shelter does TNR (trap/neuter/release) but I know that there are a *lot* of feral feline organizations in my county. Some do TNR, others focus on adoption.

I think that part of why things are working where I'm at is because there's a large amount of community involvement, plus a state law mandating all animals be spayed/neutered *before* being adopted out. Most of the independent pet supply stores donate floor space for the shelter to use as an adoptible kitty showcase, there's a community of "foster home" volunteers, plus all of the various rescue groups in the area, a volunteer-run website with updated pics and videos of pets up for adoption, and so forth.
