I'm sorry. "Get rid of" a feral cat? This is a cat rescue newsgroup,
did you notice? Your kitten's lives are not more important than the
life of this feral cat. The name of the trap is Hav-A-Heart. Maybe
some advice to follow there.
If you're worried about your kittens, then get them vaccinated for
feline leukemia.

Don't buy a trap; keep your cats inside. If you are concerned about the
health of the "feral" cat (which is just as likely an abandoned pet or
even a neglected neighbor's pet), then use the trap to capture it and get
it to a vet for combo test/vaccination/sterilization. (You are not
concerned, I know; just thought I would throw that in.)

Something that just maybe you can relate to...killing one cat will not
"protect" your roving pets. There is always another "feral" cat out
there. And plenty of other dangers to your cats to worry about (cars,
dogs, injury, etc.). Your best protection for your pets is to keep their
vaccinations current, get yearly exams, and keep them inside.

As for the cat you want to kill; make an effort instead to find a rescue
org in your area that will give it some assistance and just maybe a home
that will care for it.

Forget about the have-a-heart trap. You've misplaced your heart. I
have a former feral cat and she's the sweetest thing imaginable. Thank
God she didn't run into anyone like you. Did you buy the kittens or
breed them yourself?

Why do I even ask? I know the answer.

I'm rooting for the feral all the way :
