This smells like a moralism that has very little real impact on the population (which is driven by food supply and neutering efforts).

My guess is that the lockdown halting spaying/neutering operations was 100x as impactful as additional abandoned cats.

Depends whether the abandoned pets had already been desexed. If not then each additional fertile animal could outpace any linear effort by humans.
