Well if you are keeping them, give them a box or something to contain them but short enough for the mother to get in and out of. There really isn't much to do with them until about 5 weeks of age and then they can have moistened cat/kitten food. Then at 6-8 weeks you give them away unless you are planning on keeping them. Their eyes should open in about 10 days or so but until then you aren't suppose to handle them too much according to the vet I called when a stray had kittens on my porch. Good Luck with your kittens!
