Feeding stray cats doesn't help, it makes the problem worse. When they are well fed, they reproduce even more. Kittens don't die of starvation but from illnesses and accidents.
The only good way to work on the problem is catching, neutering and putting them back out. While giving them food may make you feel good, it's actually a disservice.
Thanks for the insight, I do appreciate it @pharesim
One of the advantages of feeding the strays, you’re in a good position to support a Trap - Neuter - Return program. You know where strays congregate, and the population likely trusts you more than a total stranger. This makes it far easier to trap a stray and get it neutered.
That's true, but you don't need trust when you put food in a cage ;)
Anyways, neutering should be the main goal - and it's the way more expensive part.
Yeah, fortunately in the place where we are located the neutering is Free from the government :) So no worries about it because I have reported most of the cats in our place to do the Trap - Neuter - Return program. Thanks for the concern about it ^_^
