Photos Show The Transformation Of Rescue Cats Before And After Adoption
Sometimes a rescue animal just needs a little TLC to really shine. When they’re living on the streets or in a shelter, it can be hard to see their personalities come through. Every day is simply survival. But when they finally get adopted, pets can really let loose and be their best selves.
It’s amazing what adoption can do for a rescue pet, like a cat. The transformations that some animals endure is incredible!
Thankfully, there’s a whole subreddit dedicated to pets and their transformations from before adoption to after adoption! The subreddit r/BeforeNAfterAdoption features before and after photos of pet adoption.
Scrolling through the posts, it’s incredible to see the transformations some animals go through in the best possible way.
Check out 10 before and after photos of cats below:
1. At first, it’s unclear how much hair this little cat will have. But in the end, she has the most gorgeous coat and markings!
2. Merlin started as a helpless little kitten. Now, he’s a gorgeous cat with two different eye colors! Talk about stunning.
My most recent rescue baby Merlin’s before and after, cannot thank the rescue centre we adopted from enough. Last photo is him with his sister, our other rescue, Evelyn 💗

4. “Best thing I EVER got from a Whataburger.”
Biscuit: Best thing I EVER got from a Whataburger. He lived on the Texas streets for 2-3 years and survived the big freeze. So happy my son wanted Whataburger that night at 1 am & I am so happy I said I would take him. Biscuit is the most spoiled now 😭🥰♥️♥️♥️😭😭😭

10. Gremlin the cat may be all grown up now, but he’s still got that crazy look in his eyes!
Today marks one month since I started fostering Baby Gremlin! I know it’s not technically an adoption, but it will be once he’s neutered!
