they have cat flu..and need antibotics and eye drops.. you need to get them to a vet or call the local animal shelter and they will come and help them..

no you should take the mother cat and her kitten inside youre house and place a wet warm bathroom towel to keep them clean and warm then you should gave the mother cat some warm milk so that she can breast feeding her youngs in case they hadnt eatting . and you should also tried to see if there any pet store or shop is still open this time of hours . if theyre close then you should keep them til tommarrow so youreguys can call the veterinarina clinictell them that you found those kittens front of youre house and itsnot yours at all then wait see if they will accpet taking the kitten and gave them good homes . if youguys cant afford paying the vet at all.

They are sick, and will need a physical exam and medications. You can call around and explain the situation to local veterinarians and see if any of them would be willing to assist the kittens for a lowered fee. The mother cat should also be spayed if she is feral, to prevent further litters.
You could also ask at local veterinary schools, humane organizations, or place an article in your paper to raise money for the mother and her kittens.

I agree with tmrvt. Try getting help from the Humane Society or the SPCA. These kittens aren't going to get well alone.
Good luck!

Sounds like upper respiratory infections. they need antibiotics and supportive care. Sorry to say you do need a vet if you want to treat them. I don't think it will cost too much.
