Surviving cats who were rescued and loved — before and after photos

All these animals were found on the streets, got into shelters and got new owners. Apparently, love and care can work wonders. Or does a cat really have nine lives?

1. This cat was found barely alive at the age of two weeks. His name is Justin now, but it took six months to turn him into a healthy, full-fledged cat.

2. Little Bunny suffered a severe electric shock. Now she looks much better and, most likely, will not stick her nose where she shouldn't.

3. Trying to keep warm, a cat named Biscuit got under the hood of the car and, when the car started, suffered severe burns. He's much better now. However, he still lost one ear.

4. A half-dead kitten is a girl. And she's in a month.

5. This poor Persian was found in a very neglected state. That's what he turned into with the new owners.

6. Louis was found on the street at the age of just two weeks. And this is how she looks now.

7. For a long time this cat lived on the street. Now he has found a home and owners.

8. The house of this cat, which was named Kitty, was a box in some yard. Now she is a full member of a loving family.

9. It is unlikely that anyone would have dared to pet this cat before. And now?

10. A kitten named Baby Stuart Little was found on the street when he was only a few days old. Someone took him from the shelter.

11. The scout was a thin and battered cat — the thunderstorm of the area. Now he's completely at home.

12. Duncan was once hit by a car. He's in a year.

13. It is unlikely that this cat could ever cause emotion. And now everyone wants to stroke him. If, of course, he allows it.
