A couple from California discovered an abandoned cat with the loveliest face in a neighborhood. When they fed him, his nose began to expand, and it eventually became so severe that he ulcerated, couldn’t breathe properly, and stopped eating.
They rushed him to the vet, where he was diagnosed with cryptococcus, a fungal ailment caused by breathing the fungus in the open air. He was brought to a rescue facility to receive the medical attention he required.
The couple realized they couldn’t offer the cat, called Khy, with the care he required, so they contacted a rescue group for assistance, where they were connected with Milo’s Sanctuary, which transported the kitten to Los Angeles.
“When he arrived to Milo’s, he was very ill, underweight, and felt so awful physically and mentally,” says Michele Hoffman, president and founder of Milo’s Sanctuary. It was difficult to discern his actual nature. He sat curled up since the entire left side of his face was ulcerated and diseased.
When he arrived to the refuge, the cryptococcus and the left side of his face were both treated. Khy valiantly withstood the therapy and expressed his gratitude to everyone who looked after him.
