By the way Nemesis: Instead of castration, I think that there is an easier method, where you just inject the cat with something and the sac shrivels up. Less pain, less recovery time, less holding time. I've been thinking about building a feral cat shelter and catching, spay/neutering and releasing feral cats. (Um, not myself. I'd have the spay/neuter done at a vet, obviously.)
