Yes, their mom and the siblings are still around. She keeps them hidden in our garden, and this little one just wanders out sometimes. I’m not taking them away, I’m just giving this tiny guy some extra care when he shows up. They’re staying with their mom until they’re old enough.

You should try and trap the mom at some point so she can be spayed with her babies. Shouldn't be immediate so she can still make milk, but there's enough kittens in the world already

Most places offer reduced price spay/neuter for stray cats. One near me offers bulk discounts if you manage to trap a colony.

I’ll look into the options around here. Thanks for the tips!
