Can 8-10-week old kittens survive without mother cat, in the street? They were born and raised as strays.?

Question

My queen jumped off the forth floor apartment window and became a stray cat in the neighbourhood for the past 11 months. She has had three litters since. I once spotted her and called but she ran away. That was about 10 weeks after she left home. Since then I have asked neighbours to feed her for me. Eventually she ended up with one very kind lady down the road. She goes to the lady's apartment block morning and afternoon for her kibbles. We watched her getting pregnant 3 times and this times, the only time kittens showed up a couple of times. She had 3 white and 2 yellow kittens and they should be about 8-9 weeks. The cleaning staff on the compound have seen them out playing. Now my queen trusts the lady who feeds her but this lady is about to move. She allows this lady to pet her on the head even to pick her up. But we still don't know where the kittens live. She has moved her den a couple of times at least. I am at the dilemna of getting this productive queen home and have her neutered. But what would happen to the kittens? If I don't get her now, the lady who has been feeding her is moving out at the endof this week. I can still feed her regularly but fear that she might disappear any time. Now that she is quite experienced a stray cat she might simply go independent of human feeding altogether. I want her neutered and don't really mind if she wants to keep her freedom. I think she can survive. But I need the lady's help to capture her before Friday or else I might never be able to get close to her again. Most probably I'll end up watching her coming for her kibbles with her tommy getting full of kittens again. I have dogs in the house too (I have moved to another compound nearby and she jumped off when I was about to move) but she literally grew up with the dogs. Is t true that when queens get pregnant they want to be away from any creatures that they think would hurt their offsprings?

Rent or borrow a humane live trap from your local Animal Shelter, Police Departmet or Animal Control officer and catch all of them. Allowing your cat to run outside and having not one, not two but THREE litters of kittens is not only COMPLETELY irresponsible and negligient but profoundly idiotic! Do you have any idea how many stray cats there are who die hungry, cold and miserable? 
 
 Are you aware that in 7 years, one unspayed female cat and her offspring will produce 420,000 cats?!

 YOU are the cause of 1,260,000 baby kittens. And it all could've been prevented with one simple surgery.
 
 Catch them and for the sake of the cats, surrender them to an animal shelter or rescue group until you grow up and are capable of caring for a cat responsibly.

 Btw, cats are domestic pets. DOMESTIC. They do NOT need to be outside to live a full and happy life. Out of four cats I have one that loves to be outside, which I have no problem with as long as he is wearing a harness and a leash. I do not let my cat out unsupervised for many reasons which include,

Cars, predators, sick people who shoot, torture or kidnap pets for bait for dog fighting, diseases that birds and other creatures that could be passed on to my cat if ingested.

She can start to devour some canned meals now and you must get a excellent high-quality food. Are trying typical stability, Innova Evo, strong Gold, Eagle %. Nothing from the grocery retailer! It is all crappy meals with by-products and needless fillers. Just feed her small amounts from you finger for a start. In case you open a whole are you able to must switch it to a pitcher dish (pyrex) right away after opening. This will then last for the entire day. You don't have to refrigerate it when you use it up and the weather is cool. When you do refrigerate it you could heat it in a pan of hot water in the dish, just as you possibly can a youngster bottle. Cold meat can rationale a kitten to throw up.
