#1: Found this ~7 month old kitty hanging around my shop May 31st. Super friendly with everyone. Covered in grime, dirt, oil, etc. Decided to bring him home and let him live the life he deserves since he’s a good dude

#2: Mancha is a stray that showed up on our balustrade after a big storm. She was a sick girl. Now she’s big, strong and healthy

#3: People won’t look when she was on the streets 2 years ago. Now they are amazed by how much beauty she has to offer ❤️

#4: This is doutor before and after adopted. Doutor means doctor in portuguese and i gave him this name cuz i found him in the entrance of a hospital. The pics have a little less than 2y of difference

#5: Someone said I should post this here. Toast the day I brought him home and then a few months later!

#9: We found this cat in awful condition in the street and took him to the local vet. Soon after we found a loving family for this poor boy. And it’s his first picture at home. He still doesn’t believe it’a all real

#10: I adopted Pouncer after his human mom died. He was 14. Morbidly obese. Dirty and matted. Shaved him into a little rotisserie chicken and now he’s such a happy 15 year old boy! Still dirty. Grooming? Not Pouncer! 😝

#11: My sweet girl

#12: My sweet boy, Lez! He was half dead, found in the snow in Brooklyn. I got him off of Craigslist lol

#13: The day they were found and 3 years later

#14: second chance

#15: Squidge turned up in our garden emaciated and scruffy. After multiple vet trips and looking for an owner for a few months we have officially adopted this sweet girl. She’s around 9 years old and full of love and head bumps
