I have 2 cats right now from taking in strays and rescued a whole litter of kittens last year in my old apartment complex, whoever the tenanat was threw the cat out when she found out it was pregnant.
Cost me an arm and a leg to get them all tested for FIV and stuff but they all have good homes now.
If you can't take it in yourself a shelter that doesn't put animals down is the place to go
