You do know that toms will kill kittens, right? I wouldn't want to bring a bunch of little kittens into a house with a feral tom cat.
The tom cat I brought in was friendly with their mother. I think he might be the dad and I don't think he would hurt his own kittens.
Nonetheless, I have four other tom cats (although all neutered) and I would not take a chance. I have a spare room the kittens can live in with their mom until they are old enough to go to Animal Control to be put up for adoption. I also want to give them an opportunity to learn about indoor living and using a cat box while they're still with their mom to improve their odds of adapting successfully to new homes.
Unfortunately, while mom keeps coming around for dinner every night, I haven't seen the kittens in several days. So frustrating. I could set out a trap, but a kitten could be injured in this trap I have. For example, if one kitten went in far enough to trip the door, but another kitten was following behind and the door came down on them. : (
