Cat rescue not only involves organized groups, but also those generous individuals who rescue abandoned, injured, or abused cats and personally adopt them into their own homes. These pictures depict cats whose lives have changed dramatically as a result of their rescue and adoption to their new forever homes.

This gallery features photos of so many beautiful cats; each with a heartwarming story of being adopted into a forever home and the happiness that ensues.
