How To Keep a Dog from Running Away
Prevent your dog’s escape by physical means such as heightening the fence so he can't jump over, closing up any space underneath the fence and making sure the gate is secure.

Gain the confidence of the mother cat by feeding her in the same place and at the same time every day. She may not seem to like you, but by being consistent she will tolerate your presence and bring her kittens along with her.
Make sure the kittens you are wanting to snatch are old enough to be weaned, which is anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks old. If the mother is bringing them out to eat the food you are setting out you can pretty much bet they are somewhere within this age range.
Place the trap you are wanting to use near the place that you regularly feed the cats. If this is close to your home you may want to just have it sitting there for a week or so before you intend to do the actual trapping so that the cats get used to its presence.
Bait your trap on the day you are wanting to get the animal. Use a strong smelling food like mackerel to entice the animal into the trap.
Set the trap up at the time that you usually feed the cats so that they are hungry enough to be looking for food. Stay close enough to the trap so that you can keep an eye on it but not so close that the cats are wary because of your presence.
Immediately cover the trap and remove it once a kitten has been successfully trapped inside. Take them directly to the prearranged location, let it be the vet or your local shelter.
