What to do for a pregnant stray cat giving birth with no money?

Question

I found a pregnant stray cat meowing outside my apartment when it was snowing and I let her in and fed her gave her water etc. I haven't let her go yet I've never really had a cat before but I don't feel comfortable letting her outside because I know it can possibly get freezing again. I have no money for tools or supplies and I think she might give birth. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

She needs food, water and a litter box or a place to go to the bathroom for basic care. As far as giving birth goes, provide her a comfortable resting place. Motherly instincts will kick in when it is time and she will take care of the babies for you. If she has a problem delivering them, then you will need to call a vet or find a shelter than can help you with her care. Birth is messy so make sure you have towels and blankets to change out so they stay clean and dry.
