Contact a community organization or veterinarian that can tell you what to do if you have seen a cat or cat family on your property. Sometimes a family will make a home under a shed or under your house. Put food and water near the place where you have seen them. The cats will be afraid of humans, but you can still help them. If you decide that you want to keep the cat or cats who have adopted you, make friends with the cats by feeding and leaving water out for them. Try to get closer to them as they are feeding. This will take some time, but eventually, they may start to trust you.
Borrow a trap from a catch and release program to catch the cats. You will need to put food inside the trap and set it. It may take several tries, especially if you have more than one cat. Once you can catch them, they must be spayed or neutered.
Take the cats to the organization that provides help. If there is no such organization in your community, take them to a veterinarian to be spayed or neutered. The vet will examine them and give them the shots they need. If you continue feeding the cats, they will eventually become less afraid. Some of these 'wild' cats even become tame enough to be petted, and will allow you to pick them up.
