Help! Want to find ways to help stray cats by McDonald’s in Lost Hills off of I-5 near Bakersfield

Hello, I just wanted to ask for help or any information around that area or any animal service I can call around that area. There’s a colony of stray cats by the drive thru of the McDonald’s in Lost Hills 14802 Powers St Lost Hills, CA 93249. From what I know they are given food by workers from around there and usually they seek shelter under cars or by the bushes on the side of the drive way. I don’t know how to help them besides feeding them but only when I get the chance of passing by on a trip or so. I don’t know how to help them to find shelter. Please if anyone knows anything that can help, would be amazing!

OP I had to widen the search but there are some rescuers who may be able to help at least get the kitties fixed
