Power Of Love: 26 Before And After Photos Of Cats That Were Loved Back To Health

There's nothing more heartbreaking than an abandoned pet on the street. Life on the streets is brutal, violent, and depressing. Rejected animals are forced into a life of constant survival mode and are left to fend for themselves. Not only does this impact their physical health, but also their emotional health. They become isolated, reserved, and terrified of humans. But it shouldn't be that way!

Cats are a true gift from God herself. They're sweet, they're silly, they're sassy, they're an absolute bundle of furry joy. Adopting a cat is like having a baby; you have to love it, feed it, clean it, and care for it because they're not able to do it themselves. That's why we love celebrating hoomans that not only help cats in need but also love them back to health. What beholds are 26 before and after photos of rescued cats that prove there are amazing cat-deserving people out there.

Now that's what we call a glow-up. If we weren't writing this listicle, we wouldn't have guessed that these two cats are the same cat. An absolute majestic floof. A perfect example of how far love and human decency can go. Thank you, amazing hooman, for saving this cat and giving Mold a forever home.

What a beautiful transformation. This fluffy feline looks fed, loved, and so serene. She feels safe in her home, with her hoomans, and that's all a cat can ask for really.
The part about the husband - love that for her, as she should. We pray for every stray kitten to be as lucky as this princess girl!
