Here's an extract from Emily Riehl's Category Theory in Context,
> _«The author is told with distressing regularity that “there are no theorems in category theory,” which typically means that the speaker does not know any theorems in category theory. This attitude is certainly forgivable, as it was held for the first dozen years of the subject’s existence by its two founders and might reasonably persist among those with only a casual acquaintance with this area of mathematics. But since Kan’s discovery of adjoint functors and Grothendieck’s contemporaneous work on abelian categories —innovations that led to a burst of research activity in the 1960s—without question category theory has not lacked for significant theorems.»_
You can find a brief introduction to some of those results in the epilogue of the book.
