The most I've had at once was 6, but that doesn't really count because it was a short time that I took in a momma cat and her litter who were all adopted out two months later. I kept momma for about a year after before adopting her out. I've never had a cat its whole life. I have fostered a ton of kittens, and had cats for years, including cats that previously lived outdoors and then when I adopt, it's usually been older cats who need extra care.

Yes, 15 would be quite a lot if you assume full lifespans of the cats!

I thought it might have been something like that but I didn't know if you were actually older or were just a cat hoarder lol
