This cat has gone through a total transformation. While before he was weak, mangled, and malnourished, his now radiant fluffy puffy fur fits his round figure purrfectly. Award for most shocking transition goes to him!

Double the trouble: through thick and thin, vagabond and home-owner, these two kitties are partners in crime through it all. Found together in a dumpster, the rescuers tried to separate them but they declined the offer…together for life!
