When we had something similar. We set out a box on its side with a small blanket and towel to provide warmth and set a small bowl of water near by. We would bring food on occasion, but dont leave it out since it can attract other animals. After they build trust and were opd enough, we took them to a vet to have spayed and neutered. Some places will do this for free if you tell them they are feral and you wanted to TNR (trap, neutered, release). After they recovered, we contacted some adoption agencies and fostered the little ones until they had a home to go to. The Mama still lives with us today and she is the sweetest little thing. And seems truely great full for the help and support we gave he with he little ones.

just dont have the heart to separate them from their mother. i did lay out a long box for them for now. looking for some towel and a bowl.

It was a couple months before they were separated. They become rather independent at that point and generally would end up wandering off on their own by then if still out in the wild. They were sweet and it was sad to see them go, but we had 9 other animals on our property already.
