My sister "adopts" cats that she entices with food and eventually they don't bother going home. She's too lazy to get one from a rescue centre.
A cat will not stay in a home it doesn't want to be in, in fact it will home in on a suitable one & gradually integrate itself into that home. They also seem to know which people are cat mad & will take them in.
My next door neighbours have had several like that, strangely when a few where doing it, all the cats got on well. At one stage they had 4, all strays or rescued, though most of their strays weren't actually homeless some had homes they no longer wanted to be in. The rescued ones didn't seem to mind sharing either.
Currently they have one genuine stray, who they can't touch, but do feed & a tortie that adopted them because her original owner got another cat, a house cat & they didn't get on. The upshot is next door have taken her on & she, the cat, is very happy there.
I took photo's of most of their cats over the years, some even used to visit me, but I am not really a cat person.
