A stray cat that I feed will give birth tonight

I am very anxious. Today it's Sunday. I can't take her to the vet. I was outside and she had contractions. She closed her eyes, she meowed, her breath was fast. She searched for a place where she could be alone. And she wanted me to pet her. She asked for help from me, but I didn't know what to do. It's her first time when she is having babies. I am so sorry I didn't spay her, but I didn't have money. I don't think she knows how to take care of her babies. I really hope she will survive. If she dies I will consider that it's my fault. My parents didn't want to receive her in one of our garages. She didn't have a safe place to go. She wanted to be with me. I am afraid that she will die. She was so scared and sick. I don't know if it's normal. She seemed in pain. I need good thoughts.

Is there a local shelter where you can take her and the babies once they are born? Perhaps someone will want to adopt her and her kittens.

No, we have local shelter for dogs here. They don't receive cats.

@Lolaze I hope tomorrow I can see her. If she is sick I will take her to the vet. It's her first time and complications can appear.

@dya80dya probably because they aren't being properly taken care of - being strays.

@Courtlynn Yes. Being strays they weren't vaccinated. They had food and water. But it's not enough.

@dya80dya I have spayed my animals and regretted that they could not have one litter but did not know what to do with the babies. I have read that cats go to a place and give birth. I believe she will be just fine and knowing you are there for her she will not die. I hope she will not.

oh my gosh, that's really stressful, I'm hoping it goes well! I don't think you can blame yourself if something does happen. I'll keep you two in my thoughts

Thank you. The cat and her babies are ok. I saw her today. She seems healthy. I was so worried for her.
