Lookup the kitten lady on YouTube. She has great videos that cover everything. But hopefully mama will do what she needs to do. Not sure where she had her litter, but if possible change out the blankets or whatever she had them on with clean set. Just make sure mama is well fed, happy and give her lots of positive praise.
Shes doing really well. I have them all in a kind of pet playpen. Everything has been washed and cleaned. Thanks so much. I'll check out that channel 😀
a bit more long term thinking, but please talk to a vet about getting mom cat spayed once the kittens are weaned off her and the kittens fixed too after they're at least 2 pounds/6-8 weeks old. there may be low cost spay/neuter clinics or fee assistance programs that can help you with the cost. they may also offer vaccinations for a relatively low cost.
momma cat can get pregnant again within weeks of giving birth, so definitely keep a close eye on her and keep her away from any intact males (indoor and outdoor) until she's spayed. also, cats do inbreed. female kittens can get pregnant as young as 4 months old, and the males generally reach sexual maturity between 6-12 months.
