A good Samaritan took in a beautiful stray when the temperatures started to drop. A couple of days later, they noticed this stray was preggo.

Meet Belle!

"She was a companion until her human moved and sadly left without her," LAPS Foster Kittens said. "Being a trusting and affectionate girl from the day we brought her home, we believe she was loved, but whatever the circumstance, she was left behind."

Kind-hearted neighbors would feed the homeless kitty, but as the temperature dropped in November, they noticed that the cat was pregnant. That’s when they brought her into the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) and Narod the foster mom took her in.

They named her Belle, from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, and just before the new year she gave birth two six mini panthers.

"Rather than being left alone outside to birth and care for 6 kittens in this cold winter weather, Belle has been given a safe place to live with her new babies," LAPS said.

These little panthers may be tiny but they eat like beasts. "Noisy, nursing and being ridiculously adorable. It's been a struggle telling these little ones apart."
