@Ems let the family ask you for the kitten back. Even if you see them, don't say anything about the kitten. If they do ask for it back, you probably legally have to, because even though you have financially contributed to the cat's care it was done voluntarily.
I won't comment on the care with the exception of the kitten being in a cage, especially with no litter box. I have had barn cats before and they do just fine (I am a bleeding heart and do have a heated house they can go in that I keep in the barn though lol), but a cage isn't going to do anything if coyotes or fisher cats are around. Good luck - hopefully they won't ask for the kitty back!
ETA: I missed Twinklestars response! We had the same response except you can't expect reimbursement for something that wasn't agreed upon. If the kitty goes back it will likely be an unrecoverable expense, so you may want to hold off on the vet visit.
