If you are thinking of adopting a cat from an animal shelter, then you are on your way to becoming a contributor to amazing animal transformation stories. Moreover, adopting a cat or kitten from a shelter means you are saving the life of an abandoned, neglected, abused, or homeless feline at risk of being euthanized at that shelter. At the same time, you are creating a spot at that shelter for a new cat to be saved. Below, I've gathered some of the most heartwarming transformation pictures of adopted cats, just like these heartwarming before and after adoption photos of dogs, to remind you why you should adopt, not shop. Here are some amazing very sad kitties who now live a blessed, wonderful, healthy, and happy life.

12. Charlotte's transformation in a year after being rescued
IGAccording to Charlotte's owners, the feline was found malnourished, wet, covered in ants and hiding in a bush. After being rescued and adopted, Charlotte turns out to be the source of pure joy for her owners, greeting them at the door when they get home, cuddling them when they wake up in the morning, and meowing whenever they talk to her. Her owners say she’s the most vocal cat they've known. Furthermore, Charlotte loves following her owners around the house and can do tricks like "sit/ stay/ up."

RedditAccording to ASPCA, about 3.2 million cats enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. Per ASPCA's statistics, about 2.1 million cats are adopted each year in the US and approximately 530,000 cats are euthanized in shelters each year. About 100,000 cats who enter shelters as strays are reunited with their owners. So, if you’re planning on welcoming a feline friend to your home, consider adopting from one of the many animal shelters in your area, full of cats of different breeds.
