Woman Finds Stray Cat in Hotel Room, Then Comes Unexpected Arrival
Leia and her mother woke up at 4:30 a.m. during their first night in Mallorca to the sound of kittens crying.
Leia and her mother Jodi were traveling to Mallorca for a solar eclipse viewing when they encountered an unexpected guest on their balcony. A stray pregnant cat approached them and joined them on the balcony, where they fed her and gave her coddling. After they left the balcony door open, the mother cat returned and entered their hotel room, settling on a blanket they had left under the desk.
The two women, unaware of the impending birth, returned to sleep. Around 4:30 a.m., the sound of newborn kittens awakened Leia and Jodi. The cat had given birth to three healthy kittens. The feline family remained in the hotel room for several days, and Leia and Jodi provided food, water, clean bedding, and companionship. They also kept the balcony door open for the mother cat's return.
The hotel assisted them in finding a local rescue organization, Amigos de las Patitas, to care for the cats. Leia continues to follow the kittens' progress on social media and hopes to see them again when she returns to Mallorca in October.
