I feel for you, as I am a feral cat caregiver in PA. I'm sorry your family has fallen on hard times. My brother lost his home and it took over 3 years before the bank put them out. So, it could be some time and hopefully, time is on your side so you can try to find the kitties a new place to live. It is very difficult to relocate cats because they will try to find their way back to their old home. As far as animal control is concerned, don't let them threaten you. You have taken a big step in having them spayed/neutered and vaccinated. I had this problem years ago and told them to back off. I spent my hard earned money getting cats fixed, etc. The local municipality thought they could scare me, but it backfired when I told them if they take all the cats away, I'm not fixing the problem next time and there will be hundreds of unfixed cats running around reproducing. They didn't like that idea and let me keep my colony of 9 cats, of which only 4 remain. Best of luck to you.
