That is very kind of you to want to help this cat and her kittens! Yes, it is fine to touch them, but I would be careful around Momma. Some female cats can be very possessive of their kittens, and she may act aggressive if you try to move them. I would recommend giving the Humane Society a call, they will have the tools to trap her and her kittens safely.
