A stray cat found the perfect family for help so her kittens could have a chance at a better life.
Lisianne was in her yard one summer day when she spotted a fluffy black cat wandering nearby. The cat belonged to a colony of strays near her house in Québec, Canada, and seemed hungry, so she put out a bowl of food and water.
Lisianne named the cat Usagi and the two settled into a routine — Lisianne would set out food for the waiting cat, and with each passing day, Usagi began to trust her more and more. The cat was very shy and kept her distance from people, but she continued to come back every day to fill her tummy and quench her thirst. Lisianne noticed her round belly and suspected that the cat was pregnant.
A while day, the stray returned to the yard without the baby bump — she gave birth somewhere outside and came back to the food source for replenishment.
Hoping to find her kittens, Lisianne tried to gain her trust by spending time with her every day. Over the next few weeks, the momma cat grew more confident and began to ᴡarm up to her human friend.
One day, the cat returned to the family for food, but this time, she bʀᴏᴜɢʜt some guests along. One by one, the sweet feline carried all six of her kittens to the doorstep. Lisianne was so surprised and overjoyed. She welcomed them all into her ᴡᴀʀm abode.
The kittens were very shy as they hadn’t had much human contact. Lisianne gave them a room to settle in and reached out to her local rescue, Chatons Orphelins Montréal, for help. She wanted to get them all ᴠetted, spayed, and neutered and find them good homes.
“Lisianne decided to keep the cat mom and officially adopted her. She took great care of her and had her veted and spayed. One of the kittens (tabby) went home to one of her friends,” Celine Crom of Chatons Orphelins Montréal said
The rest of the litter was brought to Chatons Orphelins Montréal so they could receive the medical attention they needed, and a chance to find a forever, loving home.
“The five are all gorgeous long-haired black cats — three girls (Taylor, Tynie and Tyana) and two boys (Tales and Tito),” Celine added. “They were a ʙɪᴛ shy at first but once they arrived at their foster home, they quickly came out of their shells.”
The five kittens share a stark resemblance to their beautiful mom.
