Stray Mama Cat Brings Her Kittens to the One Place She Trusts
Stray cats get pregnant very frequently: no one spays or neuters a large majority of them. Unfortunately, a lot of them also have a hard time caring for their kittens. They don't have loving humans to help them out, at least in most cases, so they often lose some of them along the way.
One stray cat was having a hard time finding a place to keep her litter safe. There are so many obstacles in the world, and she just wanted to shield her babies! Luckily, she found just the place, and nothing could ever be sweeter:

The Midnight Garden Club is also apparently the Midnight Kitten Club. They knew that the mama cat was scoping out their yard: they even put a cat tree out for her and her kittens. There are so many of them! It's kind of hard to see them all in this video, but there are 7 of them.
With that many kittens, this was definitely not her first litter. She didn't give birth to the kittens in this backyard: she brought them there after. When their new human caretaker spotted them, she put two cat trees out there for them to play with!

She hasn't brought any of them inside yet, though they do have some exposure to her when she goes outside to feed them. She is planning on making sure they're spayed and neutered, at the very least, but she might be able to find some of them forever homes. Right now, though, they're living their best lives outside:

I'm glad these kittens are getting what they need when it matters most. Even if she ends up going with TNR for them instead of finding them homes, they'll probably always stick around. They know they're safe there!
How to Help Feral Kittens
If you come across feral kittens, whether they're out in public or in your yard, you can help them if you want to. In fact, you can help them without ever touching them!
If you come across feral kittens, first, look around for Mama. It's important to find her: they need her to survive, and she most likely needs to be spayed to prevent more kittens. You may have to wait a while. When you find her:
- Reach out to your local shelter.
- If there's a TNR organization in your area, contact them.
- You can take them in your car if you're comfortable.
Try not to call animal control: they round up animals and take them to municipal shelters. Those shelters have higher rates of euthanasia due to overcrowding. If they're in your yard, you might want to try putting out a couple of cat trees! They'll love it!
