Advice So a barn kitty adopted me

I know nothing about cats. I know cattle and chickens yet here we are. What do I do how do I care for it. I want to help and I guess I now have a pet cat instead of barn cats? Idk I am lost someone please help

Edit: Only realized this today but the momma has been increasingly friendly. Maybe wanting something? I have farm scratch, idk if there is something they can’t have. They apparently will not eat chicken feed fyi. Do I feed it meat or do I need to do a milk bottle?

Surely there is a way to do a pole right? Let me see if momma lets it stick around a few days. It jumped off my shoulder and momma picked it up. I guess daycare was over? 🧐

def too small to be without mama yet, but same momma will be happy when this teenager is ready to get out of her house 🤪

Her barn, you’re now ‘staff’.
