Being a pet owner isn’t always the easiest job, but it is certainly one of the most rewarding.

Twenty-six cute before and after photos of rescue cats as kittens and adults has been circulating the internet, and it just proves that a little love can go a long way.

Each photo is a cute testament to the impact a loving, caring owner has on their pet. No matter what their story, each kitten seemed to transform into a happy, healthy adult cat.

The first couple of photos show cats who grew up together, proving that there’s nothing better than growing up with a pal and that they will never outgrow their friendship.

Several other photos prove that the cat bed, a small hammock, the sink, and other favorite sleeping places will never grow old.

A few other photos show cats with their favorite toys, which they will also never outgrow no matter how old they get.

The tenth photo on the list is a collage of before and after photos of a kitten who was bottle fed after losing his mother.

The photo caption says that, no matter how much love you give them, they’ll never outgrow their need to be a little sassy sometimes.
