What to do if my male cat threatens newborn kittens under the porch?

Question

There are kittens trapped under our porch, we think they’re newborns, and that their mommy is with them. my boy cat is under there too, and we think he may try to kill the kittens. we have not seen the mom or the kittens before and we can’t see them now. what should we do ?

I would keep your boy cat away from the mother and kittens. Keep him indoors for now. Put food and water under your porch for the mother. She needs a kitten formulated food to help support nursing. I'd put some blankets under there as well to help keep them warm. If you can catch them, bring them indoors into their own room with food, water, a litter box, and a nesting box. Best of luck.
