We don't always find our fur babies in the best state. Sometimes we find them where we least expect them, but no matter where we take them from, we can take comfort in knowing that a little love and some tuna can go a long way when it comes to healing them up lickity split. One of our favorite things to post about on this site is before and after photos of adopted cat cuties. They always warm our heart and make us feel good and wholesome on the inside, so if you're looking for some good-vibes cat content, you're in the right place!

From rags to riches, these adorable feline furballs when from someone's trash to another person's treasure. We sure do think they're the cat's meow because when you see the difference of a few months or years of love, they look like completely different cats. It's beautiful and gives us some faith in humanity. Enjoy!

    Cat - #1 Hazel Was A Stray Who Was Rescued After Being Caught In A Steel Trap For An Estimated 5 Days. She Lost Her Leg But Found Her Home With Me! This Is 8 Weeks After Coming Home
    via Rammsteinstochter

    Wow! This kitty is looking fresh and fluffy after a few weeks of love and attention! That coat is just sublime, and we're sure she's loving being in her new forever home. New hair, don't care is Hazel's motto. And three is the magic number, so we think she has the purrfect amount of legs.

    Photograph - #2 10 Months Ago I Found This Little Guy Abandoned And Starving, Now He's A Pampered Little Prince

    Well, a pampered prince he is! He certainly went from rags to riches, and we couldn't be happier. We can tell by that very relaxed and regal look that he is certainly enjoying his loving (and very comfy-looking) home. Very good boy, 10/10.

    Font - #3 This Guy Showed Up On Our Porch One Day He was emaciated, dirty brown fur, covered with ants, cross eyed and barely alive. The humane society wouldn't take him because he was in such bad shape. So we kept him and named him Knut. He turned into a fluffy white monster.
