Woman rescues pregnant feral cat in grocery store parking lot hours before mama cat goes into labor, helps deliver entire litter safely: ‘I couldn't leave her’

"To be loved is to be changed."

It takes a lot of courage to allow someone, a stranger, to uproot your entire life and change it, even if they promise it's for the better. You don't know them, and they don't know you, but both of you know that help is needed, and you are willing to do what it takes to make a change.

That is what feral cats feel every single day, in places all over the world. They find themselves in need of a helping hand, a kind hooman who is willing to take a leap of faith and help a stray feline they just met. Both of them, the hooman and the cat, need to take a chance on each other in order to change the situation and offer a better life for the cute cat that just needs a loving home.

For the feral cat in the story below, the leap of faith was even bigger, since she was also pregnant. She needed to trust this woman who met her in a grocery store parking lot, otherwise she would have had to deliver her baby kittens outside in the cold and all alone. While the woman had to give a piece of her to this stray cat, who looked so scared and so alone.

Eventually, both the lovely hooman and the soon-to-be mama cat decided to trust each other, and later that day, mama cat gave birth to a whole, healthy litter of baby kittens.

Scroll down for the full tale, and to read what the wholesome hooman had to say about the entire experience.

"I’m a firm believer that when animals cross your path, it’s not a coincidence. Even with feral and unsocialized animals, sometimes they will look you in the eye and ask you for help.

And it’s up to all of us to listen and take action. No one else is coming to help and save the day. You are that help.

80% of kittens born on the streets will not survive past their first year - they’re up against cars, coyotes, respiratory infections, disease, malnutrition, and evil people.

It hasn’t been an easy road trying to house a spicy feral mama, but I’m so grateful that this girl walked into my trap. Her and I saved the lives of her babies, gifting them a bright future. My heart is full knowing that Mama Mila is fed and safe and will never endure another litter again."
