I'm afraid it's a little too late to stop the process without killing not only the kittens but the mother. And I'm sure you would not want to have that on your conscience. Be a good mom and provide the cat mom with a nice big box lined with an old T-shirt or towel so she can have her babies in comfort. Be sure to feed her good nutritious food three or four times a day while she's nursing, otherwise she'll waste away and become very weak. (A nursing mother needs lots of vitamins and minerals in her diet to keep her strong as well as help her kids grow up nice and healthy. The mother cat will take care of everything until the babies are weaned which is about 4-6 weeks) It is advisable to keep the mother and cat confined to a single room to prevent the kittens getting lost or stomped on. Once the kittens are old enough (8-10 weeks) put them up for adoption and spay the mother.
If for some reason you do not want to play mom to your cat in her greatest hour of need, take the cat and her babies to the SPCA or an animal shelter. Another possibility is to find a friend who is experienced in these things to help you out. Please, under no circumstances throw the mother or the kittens outside. For the kittens it may be a death sentence.

Let the mother have the kittens, otherwise she will die. Keep the kittens until they are 6 or 8 weeks old. In the meantime, meaning tomorrow, call a local no kill animal shelter. See if they will take the kittens off of your hands. Leave the mother to nurse the babies, then once the nursing is done. Take her a vet and have her spayed. You will have to ask the vet how long you have to wait before the cat can be spayed, since she just had kittens. Do not harm the kittens. I would not trust giving the kittens away, there are often too many people who are looking for a free animal to abuse. Animal shelters have a little better chance of finding good homes where the animal will be safe and well-cared for during their lives.

You have to have the kittens- otherwse it will kill the mother, too.
After they are born you can pay the local animal shelter to take them and the mother, or you can let her raise this set, adopt them out when they are old enough, and spay the mother.
If you don't want kittens then spay her. That's all there is to it.
It's too late this time but you can save yourself the same routine next year and the year after, etc.

If you didn't want kittens, you should have thought about that when you should've spayed her. She can't get pregnant if she's spayed and she needs to be for her own health. If you can't afford to pay for it, go to www.friendsofanimals.org and get a low cost spay/neuter certificate for the vet. After the kittens are weaned, try taking them to a no kill shelter and have the mother cat spayed!!!

Give her a towel, and let her go into labor and eat the miscarrages. She'll lick the membrane off the kitten's face so they can breath, but if she needs help with that you can get a towel and rub it off. Once the kitten is about 7 weeks you can ween them and give them away. Don't interfear to much with the mother after labor, she'll be exausted and in need of rest so DO NOT BOTHER HER!!!

if you didnt want kittens you should have spayed the mom cat or at least not let her outdoors
you can have the kittens euthanized or when they are 6 weeks of age take them to your local SPCA or humane shelter and have them put the kittens for adoption - DO NOT give away kittens - very few people who take free kittens are infact good owners....

give the kittens to an animal shelter. Immediately get your cat spayed and neutered! You're an irresponsible owner if you continue letting your cat do this!

Think of this from her perspective, you dont want her babies....if she is pregnant and u take them away like that then you are gonna cause emotional trauma to the cat. Keep the kittens until they reach the age when they can be taken from mama, sell them or give them to the spca in your area. Then GET HER FIXED or keep her away from toms

Well first of all it won't cost money because they feed off of their mom and when they're old enough which would be in about 6 to 8 weeks take them to the closest animal shelter and they should take them without question. I should know I've been through it before.
