I guess I started something now

I love cats and have always had one up until the last couple of years since it’s just not in my budget. So a few months ago I noticed a calico cat in my backyard a couple of times . I bought a can of food for the next time I saw it.
I saw it in my backyard again and set some food out for it. It’s very feral and runs if I go near it.
This time it had two kittens with it- the looked to be several months old, so I am assuming the calico is the mother.
I put a can of food out today when I saw them in my yard and they ran to the fence but watched me put the food out and they took turns eating a few bites.
A few hours later I looked outside and saw 3 more kittens- same colors- a calico a few months old, and then two more kittens much smaller than the first 3.
Apparently it’s a cat running around the neighborhood and obviously not fixed.
It’s fun feeding them occasionally but I can’t feed a whole litter of random kittens every day.
I have started something for sure.

I used to work with a lady with Alzheimers, who fed the feral cats right outside her back door, and adopted a stray from the abandoned house next door to her, also.

One thing she wasn't thinking about was fleas. Really, she wasn't thinking about much of anything, I guess, but her indoor stray became flea infested and licked off big stripes of his fur, and then he developed tape worms from the fleas.

@4meAndyou ewww-poor kitty!! I haven’t seen all the kittens in today- I was putting out leftovers- black eyed peas one day and I saw them sniff it and look up at me like I was crazy. I finally broke down and bought them some dry cat food but I haven’t seen them around today. They were coming through a hole in my fence in my backyard and I saw there was a board over it so I guess the baby kittens can’t get through and don’t know how to climb over the top of the fence yet. I hope they can get to the food before rats start eating it.
