A stray cat chose the right place for her kittens so they wouldn't have to live another day outside.

A stray cat showed up in the backyard of a couple's home. She was just skin and bones and very hungry. When the couple offered a bowl of canned food, she scarfed it down as if she hadn't eaten for days.

From that day on, the cat returned to the same backyard every evening for dinner. "She knew this place would help her survive the tough outdoors," Chatons Orphelins Montreal shared with Love Meow.

"Over the next few days, the couple was able to get closer to her and gain her trust by providing food and water."
