The news bombards us with tragedies and calamities all day long, touching our hearts with images of car accidents, protests, or celebrity drama that only pulls at our heart strings. But where does the bad news end? It ends here, in this collection of feel-good feline friendly photos of rescue cats post adoption. These parents of street cats are heroes to society, and through their generous undertaking give us reason to feel proud of humanity today. 

Before, these cats were society's strays, hoping to find some half eaten fish in a garbage bin. And now, they've gone from gaunt to corpulent, from sad to happy, and from longing to loving. Let's take this time to congratulate the cats who have made it from rags to riches. For all the homeless, vagrant, nomadic cats to homey, cozy, wealthy, and healthy.

    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!
