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.

How will the mother cat act after kittens are taken away?
This really depends what age the kittens were when they were taken away. If the kittens were taken too early (6 to 10 weeks old), she will most likely look everywhere for them and try to figure out why they have been taken away. Sadly, too many kittens are taken away from their mothers too early, usually around 6 to 8 weeks old (some kittens aren't even weaned properly at that age). They have had no chance to learn what behaviour is good or bad, and behavioral problems will become apparent as the kitten gets older which, often, are difficult to correct. Mother cats will teach them many things during 8 to 12 weeks, and by 12-13 weeks most kittens are independent enough to be taken away without too much stress from the kitten or the mother cat.

It's essential to provide the mother with a comfortable space and proper care during this time.
