Ulla, an adorable little cat, was found wandering the streets of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, before being taken to the Dyrenes Venner shelter in mid-April 2018, as reported by The Dodo.

The bitterly cold temperatures of the country make winters difficult for stray animals, forcing them to seek refuge in the cellars of old buildings.

Since her arrival at the shelter, the little cat has been nothing but affectionate. As the weeks passed, Ulla began to gain weight.Ulla was taken to the vet, where she had an ultrasound scan. This revealed that the animal was in fact pregnant! Tone Frank, one of the shelter volunteers, had the good idea to take the little cat at the time of the announcement, and her "shocked" expression speaks for itself!

The pictures were so funny I decided to post them on /r/aww during my lunch break to see if a couple of people would share my amusement. A few hours later and the post was exploding with 90,000 upvotes and over 900 comments.  I spent the entire evening trying to reply to people … We got some really sweet PMs [private messages] from people thanking us for our efforts; it really lifted the mood for the volunteers at the shelter.

Not only has Ulla’s hilarious reaction to her pregnancy brought her internet fame, it also helped her find a real home. She now spends her time with Sofus, an adorable tomcat, all the while waiting for the arrival of her babies!
