Each Saturday, Rita Rama would head to a certain park in her hometown of San Jose, California, with her family to spend some quality time together. And each time they went, they would see the same elderly lady toting a walker strewn with plastic bags, which were filled with supplies as though she were about to have a picnic.

The elderly lady’s bags contained paper plates, bottles of water, and provisions—cat food to be exact. It turned out that the picnic she was planning wasn’t for herself at all. She would put out the dishes and serve the food and drink as 14 cats, who were living in the park, would wander over to enjoy a meal.
