She does not want to get rid of the cat but if there is no other

solution she will have to.

Sounds like fun. Why did she take the cat in in the first place? For the lulz?

Put a fence around the garden. Buy a water gun?

Buy a dog

or lay double sided tape all over the garden then video all the cats when they arrive.

Report back with video.

The cat was in her garden and had kittens , so she fed the cat and

kittens.Word got aroud to all the other cats in the area, and this

is the result of her good deed.There is a high wall all around

the garden and that does not stop them.

Can you contact an animal welfare/ rescue in your area to see if they can trap and neuter/spay these cats - this will prevent them from breeding any further.

Are the cats feral? How about the cat your mother is feeding?

To keep other cats away , make sure she feeds her own cats indoors and doesn't leave food in the garden, that should help.
