It hasn't gone well the times that I've said that it is better to not feed stray pets if you are not going to take further care of them. In the sense that helping the chances of more uncontrolled offspring just means more suffering in the end.
It's such a painful choice. I can't take in more pets, but I can't stand to see one suffering.
The last true stray I adopted ended up giving me a litter of kittens before I could get her fixed, then ran away. Ever since all my pets (cats) have been from shelters.
To be fair I still feed opossums regardless.
You can do both. Getting stray pets, especially cats, spayed and neutered and returned to where they were found is very much a thing.
Yeah, and never give a homeless guy a dollar! /s
