Despite her shocking appearance, Keta is a cat full of energy and with a huge appetite. It was clear that she wouldn't give up the fight. Unwanted NYC Petsexplained:
After speaking with many different doctors and having tests done we decided to go forward with the surgery to remove it even though she could have lost an eye, be on a feeding tube or be so deformed no one would want to adopt her. Luckily none of this came true.

It was Dr. Tomas Infernusowho took on the task - successfully - of liberating Keta from her tumor. Ever since, the feline has been recovering and seems to understand that she's on the path to being cured. She purrs constantly. Her scar is closing more and more each day, leaving in its place her beautiful smile!
