One word: once the word gets out in the cat world that you feed kitties, others will come. Even people in the neighborhood will spread the word like: Oh, you have an extra cat? The family that live at such and such address will feed it. So they start getting dumped off. I know from experience!!!

So does my bro who found himself with 30 cats to take care of last year. He had to get help from an animal shelter to help out.
