Welcome home, cat lovers and feline aficionados. If you're here, it's because you love everything cat-related. You probably wish you were the protagonist in all of these heartwarming stories of hoomans adopting street cats. We know we wish we were. We were actually chosen by the Cat Distribution System for the first time last week, and now that we've had a taste of it, we just want more. We were blessed by a beautifully fuzzy kitten who is now probably causing some sort of shenanigans at home while we sit here at work.

But we're not here to talk about us today. No, we're here to talk about the kindness of a fellow hooman bean who noticed that a feral cat had given birth on their neighbor's front porch. The neighbor said they couldn't take in the cat and her kittens (even if they were outrageously awwdorable), so the kind person purrfectly said, "Help me bring them all up to mine." Now they're all snuggled up in a blanket, safe and warm. More pictures and story below, so get to scrolling!

  • Oh, what a brave momma cat! A front porch is no place to birth kittens, she deserves a nice box and a soft blanket to rest on after all that hard work. Good thing this heartwarming neighbor stepped up to take her in!

  • The CDS gave us one kitten, but we wouldn't say no to six. Just saying. If you're listening, CDS, we're available for more cats and kittens if you have any in need. What's a few more, right? Kittens are actually easier with playmates, so keep them coming our way!
