This Online Community Shares How Their Adopted Cats Looked Then & Now And It’s Heartwarming (30 Pics)
What makes a human a better version of themself? A simple act of kindness. Adoption is never an easy decision; it requires a lot of responsibility. Especially when those in need are neglected kittens who were abandoned in the streets. However, recent trends are showing that cat adoption is spreading worldwide, and there might be a bright future for abandoned animals after all.
A good proof of that is the subreddit r/BeforeNAfterAdoption. There, new feline parents are sharing their heartwarming stories with the rest of us. What's even more awesome, a lot of them compliment their posts with pictures of their new family members as well. The before and after photographs perfectly portray the incredible transformations those once stray cats have gone through, and you can't help but smile knowing that love can cure even the most neglected beings.

My Boy Yuzu Was A Stray Found By A Friend Of Mine With The Worst Case Of Scabies We've Ever Seen (We're All Vet Students). He's Also Had Ear Mites, Fungal Infections, Stud Tail, & Recurrent Ear And Eye Infections One After The Other. One Year And Lots Of Treatments Later And He's Perfectly Healthy!
scabies is SO treatable! i'm fostering a scabies kitty now and 3 days after his first round (of what will be 3) Revolution, there was so much improvement!
Luckily, more and more of us are willing to take on this risk and become life-saving heroes. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has estimated that every year, a staggering 3.2 million animal shelter inhabitants find new homes. 1.6 million of them are fur babies. The most important part is that "pet euthanasia rates have plummeted in big American cities in recent years, falling more than 75 percent since 2009." The numbers show that we are on the right track to giving a second chance at life to those who truly need it.
This Is Barley! My Son And I Found Her By The Road. She Had Been Abandoned. So Thin... Covered In Fleas. The Last Photo Was 3 Months After We Found Her. She's Simply The Sweetest Little Cat Ever
I truly believe that rescues know you gave them another chance at life! They are so greatful and loving!
Wow her fur is gorgeous! Such a pretty kitty. Thank you for saving her!
The cat in my profile picture also was abandoned on the side of a highway, thank god my older sister found her before she got hit
What difference some love can make (and food, that helps ) Good on you!
The very first encounter with abandoned cats can be truly heartbreaking. Reddit member, snerdie, claims that they "found Melvin in a trash heap", while a member named saludete found Kira dying from starvation in a cow farm. ASPCA’s National Rehoming Survey shows that pet behavior and health problems are among the most common reasons why owners decide to leave their pets.

I can't help myself but to comment on all the beautiful, healthy kitties but I REALLY want to thank everyone who opened your hearts and homes to give them a wonderful life! Thank you rescuers! 💜
Yes! I definitely agree!!! Thank you so much for taking care of them!!!!

Take a look at Cousteau, a newly crowned little prince from Paris, not unlike the one from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's famous book "The Little Prince".
Some cute cats may come with unexpected surprises. A cat named Trojan gifted her parents not one but four baby kittens and made a solid contribution to the family gang. After the street cats are rescued and placed in loving homes, the change is almost instant. Many believe that adopting from a cat shelter is one of the best decisions of their life.
Will you be the next hero to save a lonely feline soul waiting for you out there? The answer is meow.
Melvin: Found In A Trash Heap In June 2012. He Spent His First Night In His Forever Home Sleeping On Me. Six Years Later, It’s Still His Favorite Place To Be
A friend of mine found a litter of kittens in the trash. Only one survived. She took the kitten home. They lived together as a happy family for 20 beautiful years after which Cila (as she named the cat) passed away peacefully
Wow so much trust that first night! That's amazing! You are both so blessed.
Literally crying right now!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭that just breaks my heart!!!!!!!! Love him SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!! THANKS SOOOOO MUCH 4 SAVING HIM!!!!!!
Kai Mana Had His Jaw Stepped On And Would Be Put Down. I Worked Full Time And Couldn’t Commit To Taking Care Of Him. But My BF Took Him To Get Surgery, And Fed Him Kitten Formula Through A Syringe. He Brought Him To His Construction Job, And Woke Up Every Two Hours For Feedings. He’s Happy Today
He looks like he's peacefully listening to music and living his best life!

This Is Benben. Before/After Death Row
BenBenCat! I follow him on Instagram. There's a whole group of kitties like him- and they all use their celebrity to fundraise and help other shelter cats.
He is so pretty! His eyes look so sad though! It makes me wanna give him a hug. 🤗
Some kittens, have been through hell, they appreciate the love, they so deserve !!!
I Had To Fight My Wife To Not Leave Him At The Shelter—she Was Concerned He'd Either Cost Us A Ton Of Money In Vet Bills Or Die Soon Since He Was So Sickly, Turns Out He Just Needed Food And Kisses
At times ,so little is required, however, love is the most important, for them, and us !!!

Kira Was Founded Almost Dead Of Starvation In A Farm With Cows. She Was Healthy In One Week And We Kept Her. Summer 2018
Well, she could scarcely eat grain or grass! The farmers keep them to keep rats out of the cow feed, so why wasn't she fed?
2 Years Ago Today I Walked Into A Petsmart And Met A Cat Named Sonny Who No One Would Adopt Because He Was 13 Years Old, Covered In Fleas, Underweight, And Had A Mouth Full Of Rotten Teeth That Had To Be Removed. He Came Home With Me That Night And It Was The Best Decision I’ve Ever Made
Great that you took him in. Just look at him now ! He just needed that one person to understand and give him love. Live your best life, Sonny.
I can't believe an adoption agency who was set up at Petsmart had a cat in that condition. Thank you for stepping in. Sonny is so blessed and look how beautiful he is today. I had a cat that lived to be 23. I hope yours does too!
Good question. I have adopted twice from cat rescue group that houses in a Petsmart. They are always fixed, inoculated and 'debugged'. They shouldn't be covered in fleas as they would affect the Petsmart stock of animals.
Load More Replies...It's really a shame that the charity working with pets mart in this case wasn't doing all it could for the kitties. Candies Cats, that works with petsmart in Orlando, does wonders and has saved so many kitties. Their medical care is met before they are brought to adoption events and they are ready to go home happy and healthy.
Exactly and as it should be. I do not understand that at all!
Load More Replies...so many kittens on this page its heartwarming to know that older cats get a chance too
Oh, please - please adopt seniors! I did so because I was having health problems and understood that I couldn’t be a good mom to a high energy adoptee. My rescue boy was older than they said he was (higher adoption fee), full of ticks, bad teeth and sorrow. Best family member ever - he lived far longer than expected... what a lovely boy. When he passed I adopted a “laid back” chihuahua - not ever being drawn to little dogs, but he is the best baby/son I’ve ever, ever had. Only available because he’s older. Polite, doesn’t she’d, housebroken, , hilarious, quiet, cuddly, smart: basically perfect. Please never let age dissuade you from adopting an older baby - dog cat or... please also never let missing eyes, limbs, teeth, etc. dissuade you. Giving these survivors a great life, however short will benefit you more than you can 8magine.

What a great person you are to take an older kittie. Lucky old lady kittie!
I really miss my old girl. She didn't love a lot, but she would sit with me all day if she could. I could tell she loved us and we love her still.
And so beautiful. She looks like my ragdoll. I'm glad she gets to live her best life finally after 10 years of merely existing. Thank you.
That's a Peke face persian if I ever saw one. I had one, named Ceaser.
Worked My Ass Off To Bring Spooky Back From The Edge. He Passed Away Unexpectedly Weeks Later But His Short Presence Was A Gift
I agree with you, it is wonderful to know you gave him comfort and love before he passed away. Although you'll be sad that he's gone, it is some comfort to know you helped and gave him what he needed, love.
He died being loved and in comfort. Thank you for being his Good Samaritan..
You gave him everything! Love and a comfy place to live for as long as he was here. Thank you for that.
Thank you for improving his quality of life in the time he had. Bless you both
Same is happening to my sister now. She saved three kittens someone threw out in a box. Sadly, one of them has kidney disease and he is slowly dying. They feed him special food, give him IV medications, but it doesn't look good. He is on 20% of only one kindney now. At least he will die happy and warm with his brother and sister, not in some box in the street.
Thank you so much for giving him so much... just thank you. I try to promote senior adoption because it’s so rewarding for the senior fuzzball and the mom/dad as well. Same goes for babies like Spooky. Whether it’s a week, a day, an hour a month or years - they all need love and care. I hope people will think twice before saying no to a baby (young, old, unhealthy) because they think it will be too sad. It won’t. You will cherish the time you give. It will feel good, and sad. But saying no will feel awful no matter what. Note: make sure you have the means/environment to give a compromised furry family member what they need. They do not need more suffering, so be honest with yourself and the rescue agency.
Animals live in the present. As far as Spooky was concerned, he had a great life, full of love!
My Midnight’s Transformation
I would only adopt black cats when I learned about “black cat” nonsense. I had an Ignatz (he was a sad case - a violent kitty who ran away). Two ‘Mousse’s - one died unexpectedly, the other was a dog-like cat... he was a polydactyl Hemingway boy from Key West. He flew to NY as a tiny baby (they neutered early in KW, and cut a notch in kittens ears to mark them. Then let them go due to lack of space). Mousse (don’t dwell on spelling when naming you cat, folks - the vet knew him as Moose - not worth dwelling on). He was a big boy... : ) what a lovely, lovely boy. So patient with my toddler and 6 year old. They all grew up together. I don’t know the current status, but Key West kitties are likely in need of adoption, multiple toes and all!
I had an all black persian. It is so sad how these beautiful kitties get a bad rap. Midnight is gorgeous!
This is my Shadow! Just like him. He looked so rough when he came home, mites, fleas, hungry.. But now he's just gorgeous
One of my two, is black, she is more playful, but they chase each other, great fun and laughter !!!
Excellent recovery, thanks for adopting, looks like my black kitty, black ones do look alike !!!
Found Homeless In 120 Deg Heat, Gave Birth To 5 Kittens Within 2 Hours Of Us Taking Her In...and Now She's Our Princess!
I absolutely LOVE that she found you! It was meant to be! Because she is a longhair, it looks like some jerk found out she was pregnant and ditched her. (I say this due to the haircut) Thier loss.
What a lucky bunch you all are. Beautiful princess and thank GOD it all worked out.
So she owns you, looks like. Hee. Thank you for giving her a home and family.
So unfortunate, they are babies, and have babies, thanks for rescuing her, in time !!!
That little girl deserves to be a princess, so beautiful, thanks for rescuing, doesn't it feel so good to save her life, your heart fills with love for her, Bless you !!!

Load More Replies...Oh my gosh! It’s my Moonshine! My first ever cat when I was five. I cried like an idiot until my parents brought him home from our neighbors who’d had a litter. He had the little orange patch on one side of his muzzle, just like your sweetie. —— I don’t often admit this, but as a kid in the 70s, I loved him so much I got into taxidermy (I was a kid. I wanted to do whatever I could to keep him forever). I learned and did a baby bunny found dead - did an oral performance on stage about taxidermy - satisfying to see the boys cringe... as an artist and animal lover, it all made sense to my sixth grade brain. Moonshine died at 21. I still miss him. After my school report (and my brother destroying my one stuffed bunny because he was a violent selfish creep -still is) I figured out that taxidermy might not be the best way to honor my cat.Moonshine, was buried under our twin pine trees with our St. Bernard, Jada, and our female duck, Alfred Ziggly-Zaggly who followed Dad everywhere...
Was he shot on accident? Or did some piece of sh!t do it on purpose?
A sweet baby, I have heard of strays being shot, with a gun or arrow, I think it may be boys that have an unhappy life, to hurt or kill an animal, they may be extremely disturbed !!!
Unfortunately, there are always stories about animal abuse, sick in the head some are to harm any animal, scares me to think such people exist !!!

This Is Simon. Oct 2018 - July 2019. This Poor Guy Had Broken Fangs, Broken Jaw, 2 Bb Bullets Lodged In An Elbow And Chest(Not Life Threatening), Badly Infected Ears Folded Into Fortune Cookies, Injured Eye.. I Am So Proud Of His Recovery. He’s Such A Sweet, Affectionate Boy Even After All This
Whilst I am glad that Simon is doing well now, I am very angry that someone put a couple of BB pellets into him. I mean, those pellets did not get into him on their own. It is also most likely that he took a beating from said monstrous human. Simon, I wish you a long, loving, happy, and healthy life. You deserve it all! As for the perpetrator, I am too polite to say what I want for this person.
I rescued a stray kitten from my neighborhood and she has BBs embedded in her skull. People truly suck.

Thank you. My mom has a cat that was similarly injured, right down to the same eye (not bb gun though, beaten with an iron bar by a local psycho). He looks very similar to Simon.
Bengu Taskesen: I am sorry that this horrible incident happened to your mom's cat. I realize that violence does not solve any problems (violence begets violence, and all that rot), but put me in a room with your local psycho, and I will know what to do with that iron bar. I hope that the cat is alright.

My heart won't let me look at all of these pics but I thank God for you rescuers.
When I was a kid, my uncle found a kitten that had been attacked, probably by a dog. He couldn't keep it. Already had a cat, and didn't think they'd get along, and the little kitten was so torn up, he didn't think anybody would adopt her, so we took her. We got her fixed up, but she had scars, and she was mostly (maybe completely) blind in one eye. But I loved that cat alot. Whenever I was sad, she cheered me up. When she was little, I used to walk around with her perched on my shoulder, and even when she was old, she hardly let anybody but me carry her.
Gosh, I have had so many rescue kitties. I got my Loki when she was 10 days old when I worked as a kennel tech at one vet hospital. That was 15 years ago, sadly she passed away just before Christmas. Emmet, I found in the bushes outside my front door, he's almost 6 now, happy and healthy. FN2187 decided he needed to help me clean out my car 5 years ago, and now won't leave my son's side (when he's not at school) This one is Loki back in 2014 Loki-St-Pa...0a3a89.jpg

I said goodbye to one of my cats last yr after 15yrs together, think he was around 2 when he came into my life by chance. I loved that big lump of a cat and these pictures have just hit me right in the feels!! Love it❤
Reminds me of my kitty. I got her from a shelter visiting a Petsmart, and they didn't seem to care much about getting her adopted, since she was skittish and had an uglier face from a more infection. She whacked me with her paw from under the cages, and I brought her home. She still can't grow fur back on some parts of her face, but it just adds to the beauty of what I'd say is the most beautiful kitty ever!
My baby girl when I first brought her back. She was having a case of ringworm. I'm a first time cat owner. Didn't have confidence nursing her but I did it. Cleaned and applied cream to her every day and night. She's fully healed now and is a sweet and playful girl. <3 WhatsApp-I...c-jpeg.jpg
thanks to all people that adopt and save cats. mine is adopted too, was already 2 years old, nobody wanted him because he has only one eye. when I look at photos like these, I get angry with all the people that say cats need to go out because they will be unhappy, that you can't castrate cats... people, take care of your furry friends, don't let them suffer!

We got her fixed up, but she had scars, and she was mostly (maybe completely) blind in one eye. But I loved that cat alot. Whenever I was sad, she cheered me up. When she was little, I used to walk around with her perched on my shoulder, and even when she was old, she hardly let anybody but me carry her.
Gosh, I have had so many rescue kitties. I got my Loki when she was 10 days old when I worked as a kennel tech at one vet hospital. That was 15 years ago, sadly she passed away just before Christmas. Emmet, I found in the bushes outside my front door, he's almost 6 now, happy and healthy. FN2187 decided he needed to help me clean out my car 5 years ago, and now won't leave my son's side (when he's not at school) This one is Loki back in 2014 Loki-St-Pa...0a3a89.jpg

I said goodbye to one of my cats last yr after 15yrs together, think he was around 2 when he came into my life by chance. I loved that big lump of a cat and these pictures have just hit me right in the feels!! Love it❤
Reminds me of my kitty. I got her from a shelter visiting a Petsmart, and they didn't seem to care much about getting her adopted, since she was skittish and had an uglier face from a more infection. She whacked me with her paw from under the cages, and I brought her home. She still can't grow fur back on some parts of her face, but it just adds to the beauty of what I'd say is the most beautiful kitty ever!
My baby girl when I first brought her back. She was having a case of ringworm. I'm a first time cat owner. Didn't have confidence nursing her but I did it. Cleaned and applied cream to her every day and night. She's fully healed now and is a sweet and playful girl. <3 WhatsApp-I...c-jpeg.jpg
thanks to all people that adopt and save cats. mine is adopted too, was already 2 years old, nobody wanted him because he has only one eye. when I look at photos like these, I get angry with all the people that say cats need to go out because they will be unhappy, that you can't castrate cats... people, take care of your furry friends, don't let them suffer!
