Lump On Kittens Head

[fpace]

Hi,
We currently have three stray cats that we have been feeding and looking after for over a year now, they casually live with us and we provide them with there basic needs. Yesterday, a kitten arrived in our backyard, our cats have been mostly staying away from that kitten and they don't seem to have any problems with each other. The part that worries me is this kitten that has come in has a large lump on the side of his/her head, below its eye, which means that its eye is either closed or partially open most of the time. I'm not sure what it has, I can't take it to the VET since I'm home with my older brother (who is 18) and our parents have left and are coming back late at night. Any tips on what I should do, and what is the lump?
Thanks

I think it is most likely an abscess. They can get very large. Since it is a kitten it could also be a birth defect.

Thanks, that could be likely. I looked up pictures of a abscess on cats on google, and it doesn't seem like one, he/she still has fur over the lump, is it possible the lump just came from an injury like someone bumping there head? And if it is a abscess, what should i do?
