Power Of Love: 19 Before And After Photos Of Cats That Were Rescued And Adopted Into Furrever Homes (June 22, 2022)

Hi, friends! Who's ready for another batch of cats that we're loved back to health? If you're new here, our Power of Love segment is all about highlighting the most recent before and after photos of cats that were adopted into their furrever homes. We always say that it's better to adopt rather than shop because a. you're helping an animal in need and b. it's more ethical than buying from a breeder who uses and abuses pets for money.

We do understand why many people prefer to shop though; you get a kitten rather than an older cat and the kitten is most likely not traumatized like the ones from the shelter. However, we truly think that there's nothing more rewarding than a rescue cat showing its first signs of trust and love after years of neglect and fear. Yes, adopted pets are a big commitment and require tons of patience and dedication. But what pet doesn't?

"My dog ??found her in a pot in the middle of the rain"

Mam, that dog is a hero, please give him all the treats in the world from us for rescuing and bringing this beautiful kitten. How did this poor little girl end up in a pot outside all alone? We're betting evil humanity had something to do with it. Thankfully the good hoomans found her and she's all safe now.

"My sweet Maxine. Husband rescued her from an Office Max. Couldn’t imagine life without her."

This is exactly what we're talking about! Adopting, loving, and nurturing a rescued kitten is so much more rewarding because you get to show them what real love looks like, what good humans are like, and just become their entire world. We love to see it!

"2 Years ago, My neighbor's cat had kittens and offered me my pick. When I saw this tiny little grey ball of fluff, I knew he had to come home with me. Best decision I ever made. His name is Russell"

"Meet Thor, he was the only survivor after a dog killed his mom and other kittens. He had a nasty wound on his leg where something had stung him, thankfully it healed. And he’s been the sweetest cat since day one of us adopting him."
