A stray cat sauntered into a couple's home, meowing and begging to stay. Little did they know the sweet tortie cat would surprise them with two most adorable gifts.

James Harold and Angela Watts were hanging out with friends when they heard a cat's cry.
"When I heard her cry behind the door, I opened it, she walked in and hasn't left since," James Harold told The Dodo.
The cat felt right at home after she invited herself into the couple's house. Soon they realized that the cat had chosen them to be her family and they were glad to become her permanent food provider.

"We decided to keep her after we gave her a bath and she fell asleep in my hands," Harold said. The friendly cat felt so loved when the couple was there to hold her and snuggle with her.
She was named Jupiter, and in the days that followed her belly grew bigger and bigger.

They noticed her swollen belly when she arrived, but weren't sure if it was related to an infection or parasite. After taking the cat to the vet, it was confirmed that the sweet cat was pregnant.
A couple weeks later, she gave birth to two tiny babies, and the couple fell in love instantly. They decided to keep them along with their cat mama.

Jupiter couldn't be happier snuggling with her kittens in a comfortable place they call their forever home.
They get unlimited supply of love and cuddles from their humans, and best of all, the two kittens will stay with their mom and be doted on every single day.

Jupiter knew from the start that the couple would take care of her and her babies, and she was right. Her motherly instinct is truly amazing!
"Both James and I feel that we did not save Jupiter, but that she saved us." Angela Watts said.
