I'd say go to the source.  If you shunt cats/critters off on rescue groups 
it still won't stop the flow.  Get together with the neighbors who are also 
fed up with the problem & see if you can put a reward fund together.  Then 
post big, prominent signs around the neighborhood about the reward being 
there for anyone who provides info leading to arrest & conviction of people 
dumping critters.

It won't stop people from dumping, but it might stop them from dumping in 
your neighborhood.  Once the problem is under control, the neighborhood can 
either have itself a great party or else return all the money with interest.

You might also contact the local media about what you're doing.

I don't understand the mentality of people who dump/abuse animals - they 
are sick and sickening.  Lif
