For a cat, adoption can change its whole life. Whether we're talking about runt-of-the-litter kittens who were abandoned and would not have survived on their own or regular cats - just the forgotten street cats - a warm forever home is the best thing that can happen to them. You would be amazed at the kind of transformation a shy and aloof feral cat or kitten could go through after being adopted and realizing that, in fact, not all humans are as scary as they seem to be outside.
One of the genres of pictures that we love the most on the animal sections of the internet are the 'before and after adoption' pictures. Seeing them - seeing those transformations, seeing how much healthier and happier these cats look after being surrounded with love for a while - it makes us so dang happy. So, to make you guys happy too, he's a whole collection of these amazing post-adoption cat transformation pictures.
The difference that a little love can make… is amazing. The fact that this cat went from looking like this kitten to feeling free and safe enough to gently munch on its human's finger is just about the best sign that the cat is happy. And we are happier because of it too.
It's not just in the way that this cat looks. It's in the eyes, it's in the posture. It's in the positioning of its tail and the gentle chonkiness. This is one happy and loved cat. And we wish that more people would take in those kinds of kittens and turn them into these kinds of happy cats.
