There was this "stray" cat in our neighborhood ([link]), but it was mostly being housed and fed by the family across the street. Anyway, she was pregnant, and the kittens were born, but they're not in the market for owning a momma cat OR kittens, plus they're going on vacation on Friday, hence...
Molly (Momma) and her three kittens are now under our care!

They were born around midday, July 10th.

Molly's adjusting well, it seems. She still talks a lot; I'm not sure if it really means anything. We've not interacted with the kittens much, but they already show personalities.

The kittens are becoming more active and aware, play fighting and scratching at the walls of the cardboard box. Molly keeps asking to go out in the middle of the night. She'll scratch at my parents' door and wake them up.

They're growing more and more active, and anxious (or rather, desperate) to leave their box.
I watched Molly catch a bird. No-wonder she ignores toys: in her eyes, they're nothing compared to the real deal--and she gets to eat the real deal.

The kittens are progressively getting more playful and kitten-like, with toys and stuff. They're now free to roam my kitten-safe room. They'll use the litter box about half the time.
Molly is now using the litter box.

I'm not sure whether we'll keep Spock or Kirk--most likely Kirk.
Molly's been doing good, but I feel like her heat will come soon. Freaks me out.

Molly is planned to be spayed on Friday--next update will say how that goes.
The kittens are still getting bigger and wilder. I have to close my door now since they've learned to climb over the box that originally blocked the doorway.

Molly is home, and she's still the same girl I know and love. While she was gone, her kittens have made some progress taking care of themselves.

Final update
We've kept Molly inside since her surgery. After losing three cats to our road, we're still struggling a bit with her fate in the long run--indoors or outdoors. It's been a couple weeks, but she still begs to go out.
Spock and Uhura have been adopted. I'm happy that they're sticking together and I hear things are going well.
Kirk will stay with us, and will almost definitely be an indoor cat. He's getting a little better with people, and had his first vet trip a couple days ago; he behaved amazingly well.
As I type now, he is on my lap, staring at the cursor with the eyes of a hunter. He doesn't purr for me, but he still considers my lap the ultimate safe haven and his fur is as soft as rabbit-fur.
Molly's also finally learning to PLAY! She'll chase Kirk around the house, and they'll wrestle and groom each other (at the same time). She's also noticing toys.
