Kitty Problem

Yeah. I've been told stray animals do tend to go back where they are fed even once. It's hard even if you want to do it because the supply is limited.
I understand your dilemma. I too do not have an answer. If you mix female pets with male pets, they would just multiply and then there will be more to feed. So as much as we want to help, it needs wisdom. We simply can't feed every stray.

But once in a while, you might be able to. But make sure they aren't anywhere near your home. Or they really will keep coming back to you.

I wish you find a good stable job.

IF you can manage to catch one or two of the strays, please take them to your local No Kill shelter. They will try to find them forever homes.

It only takes 3 cats to be a cat lady, ma'am.

Cats communicate and tell each other where the food is. I do the same. I don't buy food for them I give them left overs
