What's happening with finding the mom of the 3 newbies? Any progress? I hope before the window gets nailed shut, all cats are definatly out of the house! they can hide in the tiniest of places! Even in ceilings and walls (there are horror stories!). If there's several cats out there, and if it's possible, you could start feeding on a regular basis and sit in a car nearby to see who comes. (Not every day necessarily, but it would have to be the same time of day so they get to learn what time of day to come around). Create a call so eventually they will associate the call with food. That way, you can keep an eye out for preggies, ill cats, and potentially friendly strays that could be quite adoptable! Probably too late to find mom at this point, though if you do see some cats today or tomorrow (relatively soon), put down a bunch of catnip, the one with the longest nipples is mom (unless there's more than one mom, more than one litter which is entirely possible given the time of year it is!)
And yes, after feeding, gently stroke the genitals with a warm wet cloth (like mama's tongue!). This stimulates them to "go"!
Good luck!
