If the specific cat in mention is currently raising kittens or is a soon-to-be mother, the term "Queen" would be an acceptable title, but female cats that aren't nursing or pregnant are typically referred to as a "Molly," which connotes less of a motherly feel. Additionally, the lesser-known term "Dam" is reserved exclusively for rare or purebred female felines during the act of recording or maintaining ancestral records for cat breeding.
A female cat is a molly. And an entire group is called a clowder. A group of kittens is called a kindle.
