We have a close neighbor who has about 10 cats, that I know of... I may not be counting properly... but I know there are 5 kittens, a female (who had the kittens probably 3 months ago) a male tabby... and 2 or 3 black and white grown cats - not sure on the gender.
Our neighbors have not tried to get rid of any of the 5 kittens, and now they are getting almost too old to be given away. The mom is now in heat again, and we've seen her getting some "action" from the male tabby.
I'm expecting to see even more cats... I love cats, but I'm sick of the pooping in my flowerbeds and over-running the small col-de-sac we live in... and the cat fights at night!!! They're scary!
What can I do? The neighbors how "own" all these cats don't seem to care about them, besides feeding them and letting them breed more.
(Don't get me wrong, I love cats and have one...but I can just see at least a few of these kittens getting pregnant and having MORE, along with their mother)!!!

They look healthy, and don't seem sick - but the sheer number of them is ridiculous. However... I doubt that if they aren't fixed - they haven't been give their shots either.

not much,there is little restriction on cats. If it gets to the point that they are no longer caring for them properly,then you can call the humane society.
there is stuff you can put in the flowerbeds to keep them out,can't think of the name. the the fighting is part of cats mating rituals

Try to find out the legal number of pets one can own in your town. Where I live in you can have up to 4 dogs or up to 5 cats. You can call your cats vet to find out that information. If he has under the legal number hes more then able to keep all of his cats but you could probably turn him in for them ruining your property. (Pooping in the flower beds). Another thing you can do is when you see the cats turn them in as stray cats. If he has 10 cats or more he probably doesnt have them all registred/licensed. I know it sounds mean but it sounds as though your neigbor is going to be the "cat lady/man" of your town and with that comes a horrible smell and who knows what sort of diseases.

call animal control or the department of health. if they have that many cats in the house it's got to be bad in there! In my state they will take them away and adopt them out if they have too many or if they are not being feed properly!

call animal control and see what they do although i must say there probably is not much they can do if the cats look healthy and are not being abused . You cannot make someone sterilize their animals unfortunately . good luck .
