If you can find them, you can form an organization, get your 501(c)(3) and apply for grants. Yes, that takes time, but while you are waiting for all the legal/government crap to get straightened away, you can fundraise. Feral cats are a huge problem in many communities, and there are people who would gladly donate to your cause.

As a group, you could probably find a vet who would give you a discount.

Don't limit your actions to the kittens, though. You must also see to it that the adult cats are also spayed or neutered, or the problem will continue.

Good luck with your efforts!
