5 Amazing Before & After Photos of Rescued Cats

While the lives of many stray animals are fully unknown, we can often tell they’ve seen some hard times. Many are barely alive, very sick or injured and need a lot of love and attention before they’re ever able to be adopted out. Fortunately, the majority of these pets find perfect new homes. Here are some amazing photographs of rescued cats when they were first taken in to where they are today.

Enzo is an older cat that was found as a stray and fostered by Reddit user kitcat_kittycat. He was very dirty and very sick and it turns out he is FIV positive. But his illness didn’t stop him from finding a home, as he was eventually adopted out. Even though he’ll need special care to keep him healthy, he’s lucky to find out what it feels like to be loved both at his foster home and his new permanent home.

#4 – Lily

Reddit user marycupcakes’ husband found little Duncan in the middle of the road trying to get away from cars. He looked very young, sick and injured.

Now, one year later, he’s doing better than ever.
