Person Finds An Extremely Sick Kitten Outside And Rescues It; Months Later, The Kitten Has The Best Glow-up (Viral Reddit Thread)

The week is almost over, we're tired, we want to make it to Caturday already, and we need a pick-me-up. And what could pawssibly be a better pick-me-up than a wholesome cat rescue story? Nothing. There is nothing that makes us smile quite like reading a story about human kindness like this - about someone going out of their way to help an animal in need, to rescue a sick and abandoned kitten like this one. And we really want to encourage more people to do these kinds of heroic things, so we showcase these stories as much as possible. 

This sweet kitten rescue story is particularly heartwarming. This precious kitten was incredibly sick and required so much love and attention to be able to get back to full health. Thankfully, his rescuer was more than willing to give him that. And months later, this kitten has completely transformed, going through one of the most pawsome glow-ups we have seen in a long time.
