Shea Prior first observed a strаy cat prowling through her yard a few months ago, and she was overjoyed when she eventually came near enough for Prior to feeding her. She'd been feeding her for a few days when she realized the cat was producing milk, indicating that she had kittens nearby.

Prior told The Dodo, "I was patting her and proceeded to take her up and that's when I noticed she had milk in her and had been feeding some kids."

Prior was both excited and concerned, and wanted to help the mama cat and her kittens if she could. She looked around but didn't see any kittens, and offhandedly asked the mama cat where they were.
