Sara, the mother cat, gave birth to four kittens in a building near Diorama Café Shelter.

Having lived her entire life as a stray, Sara was extremely wary of people and spent some time living in a cage after being rescued.

Eventually, after the owner began staying overnight at the café to spend more time with her, Sara finally learned to trust people enough to let herself be touched.

Even today, she carries the unmistakable dignity of a mother cat.

And when she gives the trains running through the diorama one of her famous “hugs,” the sheer destructive power is unmatched. 🐾🚂
