trapping feral cats & kittens question?

I have a total of 6 feral cats. 3 grown ups, the mama & 2 tomcats that are younger than her but that follow her around like she is a queen. And 3 kittens that are almost 4 months old. (I died for unknown reasons, I didn't know it was sick)

I was feeding them in a trap inside. But when my house got infested, I moved the cats outside and haven't fooled with the traps.

Yesterday, i saw a lump in one of the kittens that I suppose is a hernia.

The spay/neuter place said they can fix it for an extra $15 when I bring it in to get fixed and that its not going to die from it.

My trapping issue is I tend to feed 6 cats at once. And they kind of change bowls & so forth with the kittens getting whatever they want and the tomcats trying to mate with the mama but settling for food.

So, I cant trap & transport all 6 at once. Maybe 2. So I figure the priority are Mama (so she doesn't have a 2nd litter) and the one with the hernia.

But, HOW do I trap just those 2 when all 6 come for food on a regular basis ?

Update:

Im afraid the trap would injure another cat when it closes.
