I have a three mill stray cats that come and go outside and they think they live here, but each one of them likes to spray around the front door and the porch and I keep spraying with cleaners in order dissolving liquids but nothing seems to work , I even splash non-diluted vinegar all over the place and it doesn’t hold up because the smell comes right now, is there anything that anybody knows about that I could spray around my front door and my screen to get rid of that cat Pee odor that will work longer than a few days

You could purchase some enzyme cleaner that is made for pet stains and odors, put it in a spray bottle, and spray it. That may help. Hopefully you are not feeding them. If you are they will keep coming back. I had to find a home for a stray kitten this summer who moved in. I saw it for a few weeks around the edge of my yard and I couldn't stand the thought of a starving kitten so I eventually fed it. I kept it safe at night from the wild life that lives in the woods all around me in a kennel in the garage. Too may owls, fox, etc. It took me a few weeks to find it a home. I am so angry when people just dump off their animals and other people have to be responsible. How heartless.
Id visit my local pet store and see what they recommend.
As long as they continue to pee around the front door you will have to keep treating it. There is a chance that it has absorbed into the wood that is anywhere around the door area where they pee.
Noc-Out Odor Eliminator is the best! You can find it on Amazon. We had feral cats in our neighborhood that would mark the front door. This spray kills the odor completely. Since there is no lingering odor, multiple cats are less likely to come and keep marking the territory. It’s sold in various sizes. I purchased the gallon and mix it into a spray bottle. It has also eliminated many other odors around my home.
If you have tried vinegar, did you try it with baking soda? Sift baking soda on the area, then gently pour on the vinegar ....it will foam. Give it an hour or so and scrub with an old broom and rinse with hot water.
If if you’ve done all that, there is a product called Odor Ban, it’s not real expensive and comes concentrated. It can be found at Cosco, Sams, Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc.
I hope you have good of luck with getting this smell away from your front door ... cat pee is just one of those horrid smells 😼😷
Put orange peel their, they dont like it ,Desert carlady
The male cats are marking their territory, and they'll continue doing it, regardless of what you use to treat the door - they'll simply move to another area. Many communities have free spay & neuter days - if you can catch/trap the cats, take them to see the vets on one of those days. You could then release them, but my experience with stray male cats that have been neutered is that they make loving pets! If you can catch the females, so much the better.
Cats really don't like citrus, as Desertcatlady said. Use one of the commercially available cat urine/cat spray cleaners, in an orange citrus odor if available. If not available, get one of the ordinary orange citrus cleaners sold commercially, and use that to clean all around your door. Repeatedly keep orange-smelling odors near your front door/porch, and perhaps they'll move on. Don't make your front door area attractive to them in any way, no food, water, etc.
