I've got a 11 year old toothless muggy that catches quite a few birds. I assume it's just for fun as he eats tons of biscuits, although not sure how but I do watch him crunching away at them without teeth. Don't forget they use their claws to hunt, not the teeth.
He's doing well to catch birds at that age! 
These are going up against rats, they'll need teeth as well as claws
This is another vote for you keeping us updated on how they/you get on please
He's not doing too bad. Just out of interest what are the teeth for? I've found quite large shredded pigeons in my garden before and a smug looking cat sat next to them. I've seen him catch other birds before and he still tries to bite them even though he's not got any teeth so guessing it's to break their necks or something?
After many weeks it looks like I have found a cat. Apparently black.
Long ongoing discussion in the kitchen over tea tonight about name. I would like to call him/her 'death'
No-one seems to think it's a good idea to go out into the back yard and call for death though
So in full Terry Pratchet mode, what about 'Mort' - Deaths apprentice. Amused me if nothing else.

she is a complete killing machine birds ,mice ,voles, shrews, and even attempts to kill my gsd/malamute cross by stalking her and leaping on her

Mort is good - I'd got there before reading to the end of your post. Shadow is the name in waiting my kids have for a black cat. Long ongoing discussion in the kitchen over tea tonight about name. I would like to call him/her 'death'

It's been a real nightmare finding one.
I have made close on 50 phone calls to RSPCA, CPL, you name it. My google internet history is all about cats and places to get them from.
However, in the end, it was the social network that came through.
In the pub one night (small local village type) asked the local farmer, who dug in his pocket for a phone, gave me a number. I phoned, she asked Ruth to phone back, and a few days later a text to say the cat is being neutered, treated for fleas, and vaccinated, and will be with me Wednesday. (16th) They seemed more than happy to provide a 'farm' cat, and I seemed to pass the phone interview too.
Looking forward to seeing 'Mort' now. That name makes me smile. (Kids want to call it 'pussy' - I'd prefer to call for Death)
Short answer, I'm going to the pub to see a man about a cat
