1. Be sure it actually is lost or abandoned.  Cats roam far from home to hunt or to socialize with others, especially if they are not spayed/neutered. 
2. If you find an 'abandoned' litter of kittens or puppies, observe before you interfere .  The mother may be moving them to a different location, and your presence has scared her off.   Young kittens need their mothers, and your interference, although well-intended, may cause many problems.
3. If there is a stray animal on your property that you absolutely  must have removed, call your local animal control office.  If they fail to respond, call your city or county government officials.
