    I assume you are already in contact with the local TNR/rescue orgs? They can assist with getting your feral community the help it needs, namely TNR to reduce the population of new kitties and they can connect you with other helpers in your area. If not, a google search will provide some local agencies, here is a starting point:

    "Animal Welfare Organizations Near You"

    You should reach out to foster networks to have some of your 10+ domesticated indoor cats placed in a loving forever home. Consider it, it would provide them with the chance to get secure medical & dental assistance, and the comfort of a stable home.

    You can try these organizations: www.petfoodstamps.org.

    Thank you for helping the cats; they sure need it. If you are feeding cats that are not spayed and neutered, you should contact one of these organizations for help so the cats stop reproducing and live without the burden of kittens. Also neutering males reduces the spread of FIV.

    Good luck.

    As a short term solution, go to any of the Met/Key foods and ask them for meat scraps. Boil them up with carrots, add stale bread and mix it up. It will at least tie you over until you find help for the cats.

    here is some information on how to receive assistance with pet food and supplies: http://www.animalalliancenyc.org/yourpet/food.htm

    Also there are free and low cost spay and neuter clinics available for your pets and any friendly strays you can grab.

    I would also recommend TNR as just being involved in the TNR community opens up a wealth of financial resources to you including free and low cost vet care, food donations and financial stipends for each cat you get TNR'ed.

    Neighborhood Cats offers free classes in TNR quite regularly, here is there info, they also have a lot of good advice: http://www.neighborhoodcats.org/
