Even our teeny town has limits to the # of pets allowed ( because of hoarders).

No way would I have any conversation about the problem with my neighbors...sure fire way to start resentments on someone's side.
I would let Animal control have that conversation. Surely SOME rule is being broken about so many cats, that would give the Animal Control a reason to dialog with the owners.
