In Pasadena, California, Ivie and Jason share an apartment building. They noticed a stray cat near their apartment on a regular basis and decided to start placing food out for her.

They gave the cat the name Mary and made sure she had food whenever she turned up. For over a year, the couple fed her practically every day, and then she simply vanished.

They were both terrified that something terrible had happened to Mary, but she returned soon after, and she wasn’t alone.

So Mary became pregnant, and here she was with her one and only cat, returning to the place that had cared for and nourished her.

Mary had trusted this compassionate couple enough to return her lone cat to them since her acts had moved them so deeply.

On Twitter, Ivie posted a video of Mary and her cat arriving on their porch, which instantly went viral. She immediately phoned a nearby veterinarian to explore their choices and to have Mary spayed as soon as feasible.

Ivie established a GoFundMe to gather money for their unexpected house guests at the advice of her Twitter followers. They were able to collect $2,000 to cover the costs of medical exams, immunizations, food, and other necessities.
