This morning I got woke up by my mom's boyfriend. He had brought a baby kitten inside (it's at least weaned age) and showd it to me. It was so cute and I thought it might've been an orphan, but at last it wasn't. There's a mama cat and at least 5 or more babies. My mom was tickled to death and said tht we could help take care of them. They're not completely feral because they will not run when you feed them. I was wondering if anyone would have some tips on helping this family of cats.

Thank you so much.

I've moved your thread to our Caring for Strays and Ferals forum, where you should get a lot of good advice. Good luck!

They are probably a stray family. Since you are unaware of their past, it may still be a good idea to use a humane trap to trap momma and kittens so they can be fixed and the kittens can be placed...however, I would PM Hissy in order to get her viewpoint on what to do next.
