It would be far nicer if your friends and neighbors get to know and love your cat, which could become a familiar face for the community members in its own right.

It is no more acceptable to confine 60 hens for their entire lives in a cage that you report is “about the size of a Ford F-150 pickup truck’s flatbed” than it would be to treat 60 cats similarly. The same goes for pigs and cattle that are exploited and forced to live in substandard conditions. Chickens deserve to live humanely.

This occurs in all animal breeders: bovine, horses, dogs, cats, pigs, and other animals. People who are breeders use racks to allow a male animal mounting the female without damage. There is no difference in this practice compared to any other bounding method. There is no wrong in using a breeding rack, it does not damage an animal.
