Spread the love

What makes a human a better version of themself? A simple act of kindness. Adoption is never an easy decision, especially when those in need are the neglected kittens left out there in the streets.
However, recent trends are showing that adoption is spreading worldwide. Today, proud parents are sharing their felines’ success stories on the subreddit r/BeforeNAfterAdoption. It is dedicated to sharing these heartwarming stories with the rest of us. It unites over 274K members, and many of them have adopted pets themselves, posting pictures of their new family members before and after they took them in. Not only are the pic cute as heck, but they also perfectly show how true love can transform even the most neglected beings.
