Power Of Love: 31 Before And After Photos Of Cats Pre And Post Adoption

Hi, friends! How is everyone feeling this fine Wednesday? Are you guys ready to take on another hump day? We know we sure are. We don't know what it is exactly about today, but we suddenly woke up with tons of energy and motivation to succeed. And that's exactly what we'll do. We're starting things off with our weekly Power of Love segment, where we highlight the top before and after photos of cats that were adopted into furrever homes.

As you'll scroll through these, you'll notice a common pattern. The before photos show kittens of despair; kittens that were tossed away like trash by previous owners, kittens that were left to fend for themselves on the scary streets of the country. They were scared, alone, hungry, and sick. Until one magical gotcha day when everything changed for them. As soon as they were taken into homes, they began blossoming like spring flowers. Have a look for yourself, hearts will be warmed.

"We adopted our Piper 2 years ago. She was found abandoned at a construction site, malnourished and with an injury to her retina. She was very skittish around humans but immediately took to me and my husband (meant to be ??). Now she's the happy, thriving, spoiled princess she's always deserved to be."

"my little Hank. He stumbled over to a restaurant I work at, his eyes had a blue/gray layer over them so I assumed he must have just left his litter. He started living next store in a house that was being restored. After a few weeks he was living behind the bar. I gave in and took him home??."

"C3-PO on the day I brought him home (7/17/20), two months later and today. He is the gentlest giant and loves to cuddle. A bit food obsessed, which is understandable given how starved he was as a kitten."
