When Lucian was ready to go home, he looked amazing, as the vet had to shave off the shaggy coat. He has a constant fever and anemia but is still eating well, a good sign that he can recover. Then things got worse and they almost lost him. It would be two and a half months before Lucian could return home. Veterinarians found a large mass that they feared could be cancerous, and if that was the case, they recommended euthanasia. Josie wants to see him spend his days lovingly, no matter how long he's gone.

Thanks to the donation, Lucian received the care he needed. Josie and her supporters' prayers have been answered, and he's cancer-free! He gradually recovered and returned to live with her. Lucian was a "sweet angel" when he finally got home, and Josie finally got to hug him the way she had been waiting for. Its fur grew back, and it became the prettiest fluffy cat.

The cat settled in his permanent home in the middle of the German Palatinate Forest and became a wonderful part of the family.
