the mama came back and the kitties came out from the wood pile but as soon as we opened the door the mama ran away and the babies scurred back under the wood pile. As they were running we counted 5 ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh what am I going to do with them???????????

Catch them while they are tiny with milk and food and take them to the shelter or SPCA where they can find homes. Or keep them and advertise for free. Whatever, as long as you don't let them remain wild. They'll just procreate like the mom, and then you'll have 20 kittens instead of 5. :-)

This is how I ended up with Hobo. He stays outside except to eat and get loves. For that he just comes in the breezeway. He is neutered and a big sweetie. For awhile every stray cat and dog was coming to my yard. It has tapered off since I have been catching and putting them through the rescue. There are a few I am going to have to trap since they are so wild. But they need to be fixed.

Mama took her babies, they are no longer in the wood pile but I am sure they will be back in a few weeks. That always happens the mama brings them here and then when they get bigger they come back. I will deal with them then.
