Power Of Love: 33 Before And After Glow Up Photos Of Cats Post Adoption

Hello, wonderful souls! How are you guys today? We hope you're feeling great, doing great, and being great. But no pressure though, lol.

We're back with another beloved Power of Love segment, where we collect the best Reddit stories and photos of cats that were previously abused, neglected, and abandoned but then one day, had their entire lives turned upside down. These beautiful felines went from a cold and scary life on the streets to a warm and cozy life in a home. They no longer have to shiver from coldness or fear. Instead, they get to sleep in a warm bed, play with toys, and get endless cuddles from their hooman. We don't know about you guys, but this is some hero behavior right here. If you've ever adopted a rescue or are thinking of adopting, just know that you have the power to be their entire world. So use that power consciously.

The first photo is dark and heartbreaking. This poor cat must've gone through so much trauma and scary experiences that no one in the world should go through! We're so glad that Nacho found his forever home and the perfect hooman to take care of him. Nacho looks so healthy and happy, we love to see it!

Now that's what we call a glow-up. Poor little Chandler must've been so scared having all those wounds and worms as a baby. These after pictures are truly such a blessing. Just to think that if not for these wonderful hoomans, Chandler's life could have gone in a completely different direction.
