How do you remove kittens from a feral mother?
I had a friend who used a simple wooden box with a stick under it and a long rope attached to the stick, and cat food under the box. Worked a bit better than we expected; he caught not only the kittens, one at a time, but also the mother! The kittens were weaned so we gave them away. I kept the mother and had her spayed later. Took two months to tame her.
Your cat had kittens outside what do you do?
It is best to bring the cat and her kittens inside the house to protect her from temperature extremes and other animals. Newborn kittens can't regulate their body temperature and they need to be in a warm room (75 degrees, ideally) without drafts. A box that you cut a hole in lined with blankets or old towels will make a comfortable nursing nest for the mother cat and her babies. The box should be placed in a dark or dimly lit room that doesn't get lots of foot traffic - a closet would be good as long as the mother has access to a litter box and food and water. The kittens should be left alone with their mother for the first week, as they need to nurse almost round the clock. The kittens shouldn't be handled at all in the first week or the mother may get too stressed from having her nest disturbed.

How long does it take for a kitten to open its eyes?
Newborn kittens generally open their eyes in 10 to 14 days. As far as raising new born kittens the mother generally does all the work. They are very particular about caring for their babies and you shouldn't touch them really at all for about five days at least. This may sound strange but the mother cats take care of their kittens on their own and need little help from humans. They could possibly choose not to care for the kittens if they are bothered to much. Kittens are very delicate and the germs from human hands could cause their eyes to mat up and not ever open. As I said before they are delicate and for the most part your mother cat will know what to do and your kittens should be just fine. Hope this helps.
How long would you have to keep kittens before they go to another family?
Kittens should be kept with their mother for 6-8 weeks. They should be on solid food prior to being removed from their mother. Some kittens ween easier and earlier than others, but the most important thing is the kitten is able to live off dry food before giving up its mom.
