Samantha when she was my neighbors cat Midnight, just days before she became mine. Malnourished and eaten up with fleas. Thrown outside to sit on my doorstep begging to be mine!

Now as Samantha, healthy, well fed and loved with no fleas and all her fur.

It took her 2 years of begging to be mine but it paid off!

Aww Laura, she looks wonderful. How could anyone just throw thier furbabies outside to fend for themselves???????

That neighbor said she cried to go out, didn't want to stay inside but she has NEVER cried to go out here, she don't hardly ever go near the front door. I think that woman just didn't know HOW to treat pets and I am hoping I taught her a few things about how you treat them.. She has moved away now. I use to preach at her about the dangers of pets outside and she has had to learn her lessons the hard way. Where she lives now, someone has killed all her animals and left them in a pile in her yard for her to find.

OMG these are some sad stories but they turned out happy!
None of my cats live with me they live at my grandmas but I can tell you the story.
Princess-She was at a fair being sold for free with her brothers and sisters and they were all covered in fleas and had bad eye infections. and there bums looked like they were balloons! A little antibiotics helped that.

Timmy-He was found being givin away by a kid who found a litter of stray kittens under his trailer they were all flea infested and they all had uper respitory infections.

I have to get the pictures of my phone to show you guys but I can't right now

The first picture is of Chloe when we brought her home and found that she had a Serious case of Coccida.
The Second picture is of Chloe now.

Still has a little growing to do but is looking very good!!

Hanna the day after I found her. She had a terrible URI and could barely open her eyes. Her whiskers were burnt and she had a weird blackish smudge by her mouth. She looked awful, and probably felt worse.

This is Hanna after, on a fine day this past Fall in my garden. Maybe a little too healthy - she is slightly chubby. (She is closely supervised when outdoors, and is never left alone. She's a good girl about it). I really like this picture:
