Animal depicted is Ele.

We were sent photos of this poor little kitty and of course accepted her into our family! We couldn't wait to get her the help she needed. She was suffering from a fungal disease called cryptococcus and sounded terrible when she breathed. Her poor little face. Her nose was swelled huge and scabbed over. Her face had been inflamed for so long, that scar tissue had grown so she would never look like a normal cat. We vowed to do everything possible to help her!

With a lot of time and treatment, Ele started doing so much better! She went to a foster home and started healing so much quicker. Scabs kept coming off of her nose and the swelling went down significantly! She looks incredible and is so happy. She loves sunbathing and climbing in her family's lap!
