The problem is that if you feed them....but wait until you gain their trust in order to have them spayed/neutered..most likely they will 1. draw new strays and 2. cause there to be many more pregnancies. Before you start feeding them...please get in touch with a group that will help you to spay/neuter these cats. Here is a list of low cost spay/neuter clinics:
