A stray cat mama walked into a man's house through his doggy door entrance. He found her inside but saw her immediately leave back out.
He thought that he'd never see her again, but a little while later the cat came back and this time she wasn't alone.

The cat mama named Tala brought a tiny kitten with her to seek shelter in his home, but that was not the only kitten.
Vincent, the home owner, has a soft spot for animals in need. He set up a makeshift bed with a large box and warm blankets for Mama Tala and her kitten.
The momma cat left her kitten in the box and walked out through the doggy door again.

Vincent was worried, but a little while later, Tala came back with a black kitten. He was surprised to know that there were more.
"Over the course of the next few hours, she would bring a kitten one by one and lay them in the box until all five were in there," Jacqueline DeAmor co-founder of Friends for Life RescueNetwork told Love Meow.

Mama Tala knew that this was the right place to bring her babies. Now all five kittens were safe and sound.
Vincent gave her some much-needed food and water while the kittens were snuggling comfortably in their bed.

"He contacted a local rescuer on Facebook and many of us rescuers saw the post. I offered to take the family," Jacqueline said.
