and late litters don't do well if they stay feral as the food supply disappears as the weather gets cold. Mother Nature isn't always nice.

Mama cat might have had a home at one time before she got knocked up because they were slow in getting her spayed. Kittens are easy to tame down. Mama might be a challenge if she's totally feral, although it doesn't sound that way. A totally feral cat would have ignored the food and moved her kittens.
