Hi, I wanted to encourage you to work with a good rescue to rehome the majority of these cats and to get them neutered/spayed. It does sound like that were be in their best interests, and would enable the remaining cat or cats to be a source of joy instead of stress.
There is a rescue in my area (Eugene, Oregon) that takes hard to place cats and puts them in foster homes (and under the right circumstances in Pet Smart). You may be able to find something like that for your kitties.
When you say the kittens are inbred, does that mean they they have minor health issues, but might make good pets? If so, they might be easy to place in homes. If not, its possible that the rescue might be able to help you sort out which ones have minor health issues and which ones have major ones. I would also think that friendly young cats would be fairly easy to place.
What does the lease on your parents apartment say about pets? If not allowed more than one or two, or if the apartment is in bad shape, I can imagine a landlord doing an eviction. Also, if someone were to complain about the cats, and animal control were to conduct an investigation, I could see them saying that your parents had no choice but to give up some of the cats.
