Dear Nick and Fellow Adlanders,
A few years ago my husband and I were homeless and living in tent. We were there for 14 months. There was this little feral tortoise shell kitty who hung around our campsite and those of our neighbors (about 35 homeless people, mostly veterans, but some families with kids lived where we were).
Since we are cat lovers, we would buy catfood and leave it out for her. Finally, after six months of feeding her, she at long last let us pet her. Two hours later she started showing up with what would turn out to be four kittens, so young their eyes were still closed. She and family moved right into the tent with us. Here is a link to a picture of three of the four kittens:

Sorrry about just a link instead of a picture, but I haven't figured out how to get am image to upload here. Anyway, we found homes for all four of the kittens when we found work and finally moved out of the tent and into a home.
I am convinced that our providing a home for those kittens and their mother was the turning point to our finding jobs sufficient to get us down off the hill and into a home of our own.
Our Lord works in mysterious ways.
