Your Jimmy sure sounded a lot like our Big Blackie.
When our original 3 feral cats appeared in our yard and eventually were found with the 2 brothers huddled together in our garden, we decided it was best to TNR them. As luck would have it, by the time we got through the "Process" with the county, a 4th cat appeared and he was all wounded up from fights. He got trapped the Thursday before our scheduled Friday Surgery day in 2022, but the County has a policy regarding wounded feral cats where the wounds came from sources with unknown Rabies history. This policy is to either house the cat for 120 day quarantine period, at one's property that must pass some kind of inspection approval process, or surrender the cat to the county to euthanize.
This is what happened to Big Blackie. ( A known Hostile and pretty vicious fighter) Hence, why I sought a more humane and non free choice for White Spot. Since White Spot was seeming like he was gaining confidence with me, and was appearing to have become mostly non combative with our 5 yr old feral, Blackie, he had hope to continue on with a healthy life if I was able to do what we did today with the Paid TNR Vac, Woundcare, Neuter etc trip.
I thank you all for letting me share, and also for your own cat stories.
