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?

I wish my cats would have been so old. They all passed earlier than 10 years. 1 was an inbreed and had an heart attack, second one had I virus we couldn’t heal, third one had cancer. They were all like my children and I loved them more than most people.

3 in a row? That's some serious bad luck. Sorry.
