About three days ago we took in three feral kittens to socialize and then get adopted. We were told that although they are a little young (roughly 5 weeks) it was best to take them in now to protect them from predators and socialize them. They are doing great so far, but mamma cat is going crazy crying at every door and window she can find and I feel aweful. She's completely feral and wont let anyone touch her so I know it would be difficult if not impossible to socialize her..has anyone got advice on this situation? Thank you!

I suggest either giving her the babies back or getting a raccoon trap/cage with a trapdoor and catching mom so you can bring her to the vet to get spayed, then see if she still wants them once she's fully healed.
Natural selection is a thing that happens to feral cats and their babies. You don't need to play hero and take them in to "socialize" them.
