We live in a mobile home. We started out with 3 cats that a co-worker couldn't keep anymore. I didn't want to split them up, so I took all 3. (I had lost all my cats previously in a house fire.) Then the co-worker's daughter-in-law had 2 that her 2 yr old girl was too rough with, and she feared she might get scratched or bitten. So we took them. Since then, we have adopted every stray which could be coaxed into the house. One cat snuck into the house through a hole where the water pipe for the washer was, every night for 2 months, to eat and drink, before deciding to move in with us permanently. We saw her several times, but assumed she was another cat who has similar markings. So our rep must be good with the stray cats around here.

Others live under the house. I recently made beds for each of them, and a couple of extras, out of pillows in cardboard boxes. We have taken 2 of the male outdoor cats in to be fixed. We still find kittens, from some unknown male source, but far fewer now.
* (edited for anti-data-mining purposes) Luckily, we have plenty of room, and each one has his/her own areas, hiding places, etc. All the males are fixed, and we fix the females as we have the money. Sometimes, we find one outside that is sick. We take them to the vet, and care for them even if they are terminal. We love them and make their last days as comfortable as possible.
When we move to the country, they are all coming with us. Then I will get another dog. We have had dogs in the past, and both of them co-existed well with cats, as long as the cats don't get too jealous, that is.
