What makes a human a better version of themself? A simple act of kindness. Adoption is never an easy decision; it requires a lot of responsibility. Especially when those in need are neglected kittens who were abandoned in the streets. However, recent trends are showing that cat adoption is spreading worldwide, and there might be a bright future for abandoned animals after all.

A good proof of that is the subreddit r/BeforeNAfterAdoption. There, new feline parents are sharing their heartwarming stories with the rest of us. What's even more awesome, a lot of them compliment their posts with pictures of their new family members as well. The before and after photographs perfectly portray the incredible transformations those once stray cats have gone through, and you can't help but smile knowing that love can cure even the most neglected beings.
