YES take the kittens so they don't become strays.
if u do hand feed them feed them KMR that you can get from a pet store. KMR is a Kitten Milk Replacement i had to use it on some of my kittens. if there strays take them to a vet to, to make sure they don't have worms or anything.
or you can give the kittens to a vet or Shelter so they can care for them.
Good Luck!

You can't take the kittens from the strays when they're born. They won't survive.
You haven't seen a kitten because the mothers are very good at hiding their litters. They will need all the help they can get when it comes to food, however, so please continue putting it out near where you see the pregnant strays.
You could all a local shelter, preferably a no-kill shelter, and see what they recommend. They might have a program where the strays could be trapped and spayed so that they don't continue to contribute to the stray population.

If the kittens haven't been born, yet, and the pregnant females are letting you feed them, get a "live animal" trap, put a can of open cat food in it....cover it with a blanket or something similar, so that it's dark inside and they can't see the trap door. They should go in to eat, and the door will close. After that, either take them IN, or to a shelter. If you take them in, after they have their kittens, you can get them spayed. Good luck not trapping the toms! By no means remove the kittens from their moms. Good luck....

They will be fine with their mother. My parents have an outdoor cat that became pregnant. Then one day, the cat was skinny! She gave birth! We search for a MONTH for those baby kittens. We were bewildered. She hid them somewhere and we searched and searched around my parents yard. Finally, we saw a baby kitten playing on the drive way and followed it to the others. Bottom line, the mother will know how to protect her babies on her own. They will be fine under her protection. I think it's great that you care so much!

For now dont take them away, they are not likely to survive instead put out food for the cats, maybe after a month you can then take the kittens.

the two cats can take care of their youthful. Heres an iea however, in case you desire to assist: Take the two cats in and feed them, take them to the vet and be sure they're healty. Then after the kittens are sufficiently previous, discover them a solid living house, get the cats fixed and shop/discover them a solid living house. A human society in tx will fix a female cat for around 30 and supply photographs for extra or less 20.

Contact a rescue and see if they will help you with the kittens if you take moms in and foster till kittens can be spayed and neutered and adopted to homes.

DO NOT TAKE THE KITTENS AWAY.
Barring extraordinary circumstances the mama cat knows how to care for her kittens best.
The best thing to do for the cats would be to take them to a shelter.

Handraising ONE kitten is a fulltime job, I couldn't imagine handraising two litters. DONT take the kittens away. Provide Moms with a safe place to raise their babies, if you can, and have the moms fixed after their milk dries up.

just try to feed the cats some foodso they can produce more milk, and DONT touch the kittens!!! if the mother smells human scent, she'll leave the kittens there, and they will just die!
