My cat had premature kittens. How do I care for mom and babies?

Question

Hi Ava had her babies the 20th of this month she gave birth to four babies but two didn't make it and two of them are doing pretty good but they look like premies but she is taking good care of them. Is there anything that I need to do to help her out? Its the best I can do for the photos. Pet's info: Cat | Snowshoe | Female | unspayed

Ava is lovely! Weigh the kittens daily to make sure they are gaining weight. Feed Ava a kitten formulated food so she has extra calories, calcium, and protein to support feeding the kittens. Make sure she has plenty of food to eat. Any health concerns, have her seen by a vet right away. Best of luck.
