Rescue Pets That Made Dramatic Transformations In Loving Homes

It's so hard to imagine neglecting an animal to such extreme lengths that the poor creature teeters on the edge of death. However, hope is far from lost. There are countless organizations that make it their goal to take in abused and struggling animals and turn their lives around. As these photos show, the transformations made by some animals are nothing short of astounding.

1. Out Of The Cage

Jake was super depressed spending time in his small cage all day. The only thing he wanted to do was get out and show the world how energetic he was. Once he found a family, he came alive!

2. Clean Coat

This poor cat had an owner who suffered from Alzheimer's and completely forgot she owned a cat much of the time. This feline could barely move at first because of her fur, but soon she had a new clean coat!

3. Buster And Keaton

Look at how sad Buster and Keaton were when they were locked away. The two were found together among rubble of a burned building, and they were super friendly. Now, their happiness is infectious!

4. Seeing Clearly

When this kitten first arrived at the shelter, she had an infection in both her eyes that made them water uncontrollably. Mucous impaired her eyesight. But, with a little help, she was ready to again see the world clearly!
