What should I do with the stray kittens I found..?

I found three adorable, stray kittens in front of my house a few days ago. They hang around the bench and in my front yard which I don’t mind at all. I left out bit of ham and bologna and cup of water for them. They are wary of me and are scared if I make any sudden movements or if I go towards them. My neighbor kid told me today that that there is a mother cat with some kittens down the street.

Should I just leave the kittens be and let the mother find them? Should I bring the kittens to the mother myself? (I’m not sure how I could do that since that cats run off if I make any sort move towards them.) Or should I call my local animal shelter?

I’m also thinking about maybe keeping one of the kittens as a pet if they start to get used to me. Is that a good idea since it’s a stray?

Any advice or suggestions?

My 15 week old kitten weights 5.5 lbs…do I need to be concerned?

I am assuming when I got her at the local animal shelter than they had her correct birthday, and that I got her at 8 weeks. I have been concerned about how big she has been growing so quickly- and that at 15 weeks she already looks like a small full grown cat. I didnt expect for her to grow so soon.

This website says that at 5.5 lbs she should be 24 weeks old… not 15 weeks.

Please dont respond with you should take her to the vet. I will do if its serious enough.

Thanks
