    their lifespans are something like ⅓ to ½ longer

    Outdoor cats have a life expectancy of 2-5 years. Indoor cats routinely hit teenager status and can push past 20 with quality care and a bit of genetic good fortune. Its crazy what a steady diet, low stress, protection from the elements/predators, and even middling modern veterinary health care can accomplish.

    Now, imagine what this change in condition can do for homeless people.
