They keep overturning the nestboxes!

but the lose neighbor cats turn any garden I make into a litter box, so I never set it up.

Cats use to litter in my yard until I got chickens. I hardly see any cats in my yard anymore. My rooster is kind of big and very protective. The cats are afraid of him.
I can leave my coop door open at night and nothing will happen. However, the cats will eat baby chicks if I let them run around unattended.

The cat next door has been caught more than once sticking his arm in my chicken run. Unfortunately, I have several neighbors that let their cats roam freely and are causing havoc in all of the yards in the area. They are a plague and go into everyone's houses! We keep our cats safely indoors.

Animal control won't do anything?

Years back, had a neighbor's cat that continually tore up my flower garden... I added cactus to the plants growing there. Not sure if that would be an option for you.
