There is a stray cat in my neighborhood who I call maxi, he is a male, I'm not sure how old he is exactly, but I'm pretty sure he's an adult, maybe even a little on the older side. I first saw him a couple months ago I think and I started to feed him, I've mainly given him treats, but I also give home wet food and occasionally tuna. There was another cat who had kittens after mating with him, but I'm not sure where she is because I haven't seen her in so long. The last time I saw maxi, which was two days ago he had a big red spot by his neck, I think it was an injury because there are other cats who live at my neighbor's and are outdoor cats, raccoons, and birds and they all fight some times. I've seen two kittens, one is now a young adult/teen and same for the other, I've seen them both within this week. My dad said he saw a dead kitten in the yard, so I'm not sure if they're safe. Maxi usually lies around all day in either my yard or the neighbors and always looks really lethargic. I suspect that he is the son of one of my neighbors cats that ran away a couple years ago, because they look very similar and he looks a lot like that cats mom. His ear is clipped, so I'm pretty sure he's been neutered, but I'm not sure when and when he had the kittens, and I'm pretty sure that the kittens haven't been spayed, so I'm not really sure what to do. I know about TNR but I don't have the time, money, or recorded to do it, and even if I did I barely have enough to take my own cat to the vet. I get very worried about them, but I don't know how to help them, does any one know what I should do?
P.s. I'm not sure if they're feral or strays because maxi is comfortable with me and most of my family usually, but when he got injured he stated running when he saw us, and the kittens I'm pretty sure are feral, but I think all of them could be pets if they got done TLC, but may or may not be my intention to get them adopted, depending on what is better for them, this is my first feral cat experience and I don't know what to do.
