Hi, friends! Happy Hump day! How are you guys feeling this Wednesday? Are you getting enough rest, nutrition, hydration, and fulfilment? We sure hope so! Though we can't help you with the sleeping and hydrating, we can contribute to the fulfilment and wholeness. In true Wednesday nature, we're back with our weekly Power of Love segment where we highlight the top before and after photos of cats post-adoption.

We don't know about you guys, but there's nothing that makes us feel more whole than hearing stories of helpless, broken, abandoned cats being adopted into welcoming and loving homes. These cats did not deserve to be treated and abandoned like garbage. Unfortunately, the world is filled with many horrible people who do horrible things. But luckily for us, there's just as much good to balance out the bad. What beholds is a collection of 24 pictures of cats that were given a second chance at life. We hope they make you feel whole!

"Adopted the “grumpy” shelter kitty. Only 11 days later, and he’s so much more vibrant and has the cutest personality! So proud of his progress… he just needed a home."

"I've been rescuing for 15 years. This is a favorite before and after. This girl was "wild" and torn apart by an AC unit when she had her babies inside. They gave her babies away and left her to suffer. I got her immediately when I heard she was suffering on facebook and got her into the vet."

"We were originally told he was a Siamese, turns out he was a horribly neglected rag doll, 3 pounds and a whole lot of love later he's a gorgeous boy who spends all day on his back receiving belly rubs. Still has the same mean mug, wouldn't change it for the world."

“She was shaking like a leaf and kept burying her head in our arms. One month later, she climbs up on the counter to greet me with soft trills and purrs every morning. ?? (She also loves the sink.)”

"When they told me this small, scrawny, but very sweet cat with cat herpes was about 2, I could hardly believe it. Now, she's about 5 and so much happier and has grown too."
