The most important thing to cats, who must be homeless is neutering. Neutering of unowned feral cats and neutering of outdoor cats, which have an owner. Only neutering can reduce the suffering on the streets. The feral cats of Sicily, and elsewhere, did not live there forever, they are all the offspring of abandoned cats.

And even after neutering it is not good and safe for the cats on the streets. Some colonies have so many cats that they will not get enough food during the winter. In summer they were often fed by tourists but in winter they must look for other resources. And they are also suffering a lot from parasites.
