Remain calm when you find stray kittens in Texas. If the animal(s) is(are) not seriously hurt, take them to the nearest vet clinic or animal control agency. However, act with caution. The animals may not be stray.
Help resources like AlleyCat.org states when you find a litter of kittens mewing under a bush, you can get an impulse to do anything to help the small cats. They continue: you should simply leave them be, “allowing kittens and moms who are already thriving outdoors to stay right where they are” as separating them from their mom could be detrimental to their health.
