Power Of Love: 17 Photos Of Cats Before And After They Were Rescued (August 17, 2022)

Hi, friends, and Happy Hump Day! We're wishing everyone tons of luck, patience, and success to get you through the day. As for us, something that gets us through the day is hearing positive adoption stories. You know, the ones where the poor little kitteh goes from being an abandoned wandering soul to the most adored being in the house. Yep, those are the ones.

In true Hump Day nature, we're back with our weekly Power of Love segment where we highlight the top before and after photos of adopted cats. We always say that we love this segment oh so much, but it's only because it's true. If you're thinking about getting a doggo, this is your sign to adopt, not shop. There are so many cats in need of your help, your love, and your attention. Believe us when we tell you that there's nothing more heartwarming than a rescue cat showing its first signs of trust.

Do you guys see what difference a little bit of love can make? McNugget's eyes in the first photo tell a painful story of abandonment and helplessness. The after photo, however, is showing a completely different cat! Happy, safe, and secure. All that matters ??

"24 hours after adoption. She had been in the shelter for 3 months after her owner died. We were told she didn't like to be touched but we tolerate it. They were so wrong, she craves human contact desperately. Purring, air biscuits, drooling, eating while I pet her. all in one DAY! Meet Minerva ??"
