Oh, man! The first LJ reading I've done in weeks, and it's the saddest story!
It sounds like you did everything you could possibly have done. Feral cats are so unpredictable: when they don't come back for a while, *anything* could have happened. I'm glad she didn't, in the end, abandon her kittens, but life in the wild is hard. I agree with Cuz NeonNurse that there was probably something wrong with it to begin with. Good luck with the situation. Console yourself that you've provided a better safe harbor from the elements that Mama couldn't have expected to have.
