A: The Hadith explains that one will receive reward through feeding or taking care of anything that possess life whether a cat or other animals. 

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ” غفر لامرأة مومسة مرت بكلب على رأس ركي يلهث كاد يقتله العطش فنزعت خفها فأوثقته بخمارها فنزعت له من الماء فغفر لها بذلك ” . قيل : إن لنا في البهائم أجرا ؟ قال : ” في كل ذات كبد رطبة أجر “(مشكاة #1902)
