Cats are mischievous creatures full of cuddles and purrs. Adopting a cat is a win-win, it’s good for you and it’s good for the cat. There are millions of cats out there in need of a good home, and every day caring animal-lovers put the meow back in a rescued cat’s step.
A while ago we shared 16 before and after photos of rescued dogs, but cats benefit from the kindness of warm-hearted rescuers too. Here are 20 touching before and after photos of rescued cats that show just how much a little love and care can change a cat furever.
