Whenever I used to watch a cliche nerdy romance movies, I would always wait for the transformation montage. Where the girl would take off her glasses and she was suddenly drop-dead gorgeous. I am well aware it doesn’t work that way and glasses don’t make you ugly. But it was still so much fun to see a transformation.
However, as it turns out it is much more heartwarming to see these rescue kitties transformed into beautiful and healthy cats. These images just show what a little love can do. Animals deserve love and it breaks my heart that some people treat them as bad as they do.
I know you are here for some feel-good content so scroll on below and take a look.
It’s always nice to see people care for the animals. A small act makes a big difference! -fro_st puppy

From a bun to a loaf. -MagicalUnicorn
It’s almost a year to the day since my friend brought home a kitten from a rescue centre, so she decided to recreate the first picture she took of him.
This is Leo (Leonidas) and we’ve been besties since 2012. He was born under my stairs, and I rescued him. We love each other very much.
Keller is just stunningly handsome!! There is no greater unconditional love between us and our fur babies. Nothing compares. -Elaine Tan
Harvey’s skinny body was found abandoned in a ditch, soaking wet, and dotted with cigarette burns. He was infested with fleas, anemic, and starving.
One look at his little face and I knew had to adopt him. Fast forward 5 years, he’s now a confident, happy, healthy boi with a career in modelling.
She was so tiny and malnourished. I hope you guys have a long friendship. -K.
8 years ago for my b-day I adopted a blind kitten from a struggling rescue on Craigslist.
Good nutrition and love is, indeed, transformational. -Joyce Deering
My dad found this cutie alongside the road while working. I’d like to say he lives a spoiled life. October vs. Now.
The before and after smiles are just as wonderful as the before and after kitty. -Colin L
Took a stray momcat and her kittens home. A month after, she has no more mange problem and I have 3 fat kittens too.
This is 1.5 yo Pelle. I became his momma when his cat momma didn’t want to take care of him, around when he was 3-4 weeks old.
My cousin adopted him when he got a little older. Now him and I get to hang out this entire week while she’s on vacation.
I found Chelvin very sick and malnourished just outside my neighborhood. He was only a few weeks old. Three weeks of love and care went a long way!!
From a scared and starving kitten found under my boyfriend’s house, to a fat and curious little hell raiser 6 months later.
Pugsley the rescue cat before and after. It’s amazing what a little love and some strong antibiotics can do!
From 1 month to 7 months. I was about to adopt my very first kitten ; cat foster family said “Don’t you want to adopt these two? They’d be so happy together”.
They were so right.
Just got this before pic from the shelter. From a stray in Thailand to the queen of our apartment, meet Connie.
Anyone who saw how bad Stitchey was a few months ago, look at him now!
He’s a whole lot better compared to when he was first rescued! My friend took him in and helped Stitchey! He’s playful and living his best life!
My 96g hand rear boy made it! He’s now 2kg and almost 4 months old. He and his rescue sister are my absolute world and have given my life meaning.
Meet Frankie! Adopted him from the shelter six weeks ago.
Now I know why parents say “They grow up so fast!”
Lovely and loved orange creamsicle kitty! -Colin L
So the marking were all dirt and he was a snowball underneath. -Bengü Taşkesen
On 1st pic is my boyfriends cat when he found her in rain meowing alone, 2nd pic is few days after he cleaned and fed her, and 3rd pic is she today a six months after he found her.
Awe she or he hasn’t changed one bit! -Lilli Stanard
Our rescue Tiara – she went through 3 foster homes before coming home and never leaving my side again.
From being found frozen into the side of the highway, to losing part of her tail from the trauma, to gorgeous girl living the best life. She’s brought so much love into our lives.
I adopted a stray cat 3 months ago. She was very weak and couldn’t stand on her own legs. But she was truly a fighter. Meet Katie!
Peter the Cat day my daughter rescued from a ditch, four years later!
He was given up by his previous owners and spent 4+ months malnourished, matted, and uncared for in a shelter, even though he’s the sweetest and most gentle cat I’ve met.
I’m grateful for every day that I get to spoil this kitty.
From this to that. Exactly one year when I rescued him. He had a lot of medical problems and almost didn’t survive when he had FCV.
He is now a healthy whiny lil baby with a small head.

The pirate twins! Glad you adopted them and gave them a chance at a good life. -Dutch VanZandt
My Wickett, first at 3 weeks old when he came in as a foster, then 12 weeks after I adopted, then his first birthday and today at almost 2.
Do you need any more reason to ‘adopt and not shop?’. It’s crazy to think so many people still like to buy a pet when there are so many animals in shelters who just need some love and care. Do you have a pet? If so, did you get them from a shelter? Comment down below and let us know.
