Pregnant stray black cat brought into good home during a cold winter night, she gives birth to 5 kittens in their home and they turn their basement into an adorable kitten nursery: 'I’m so happy we were lucky enough to have the opportunity'

This couple noticed a black stray cat always coming up to their home. After some time, they saw that the cat looked pregnant, and thinking about how cold it is outside in the deep of winter, they decided to take her in. In two weeks time, she gave birth in the corner of their home office to 5 adorable kittens, four girls and one boy. The couple kept the kittens for 10 weeks, and practically turned their basement into a full kitten nursery with the 5 cuties down there. In the 10 weeks, they grew attached, but knew the time would come to give the kittens away to their furever homes.

It was an emotional affair to get them to new homes after having spent 10 weeks intimately with them, and even watching them be born. They decided to keep the mama cat, who they named Lucy. The story is not just adorable, it's uplifting and precious, and a holiday winter miracle that the cats could be born in the warmth of a home, instead of the cold outside. Reading stories like these makes every cat distribution system feel special, because it's not everyday that someone opens their home to stray cats.
