Even though Keta had a tennis ball sized tumour on her face, this beautiful kitty fought to survive.
&nbsp;
The volunteers worked quickly to raise money to give her the surgery that she so desperately needed.
Despite her shocking appearance, Keta is a cat full of energy and has a huge appetite.

It was clear that she wouldn’t give up the fight. The obvious solution was to perform surgery, although this wasn’t without its risks.
Volunteers were very worried that once the tumour was removed she would no longer be able to see or eat properly.

The surgeon, Dr Tomas Ingernuso, managed to avoid the possible complications and successfully removed the tumour.
Keta made an incredible recovery, more than anyone could have hoped for.
Her skin is tightening and her appetite is as strong as ever. And now she lives just like any other kitty. She plays, she sleeps, she eats.
Life was starting to look a lot brighter for this amazing cat.
All she needs now to make her life complete is to be adopted into her forever home.
