Remarkable Turnaround: Shelter Cat, Initially Given a Few Weeks to Live, Surprisingly Declared Cancer-Free

2023/05/13

A shelter cat who was believed to have just 1-3 months left after being diagnosed with cancer has gotten an unbelievable miracle.

According to a Facebook post from Humane Pennsylvania, a cat named Reese ended up in the care of the Lancaster Center for Animal Life-Saving after his former caretaker's health declined and they could no longer afford vet care.

Reese was in poor condition: "Reese had significant scabbing, and missing fur, and was overweight and drooling excessively," Humane Pennsylvania wrote.

Worst of all, vets noticed a mass under his tongue and determined that he was likely suffering from mouth cancer. He was estimated to have just 1-3 months to live.

A hospice adopter reportedly took him in, but he was soon returned to the shelter. He didn't get along with the other shelter cats, and Lancaster Center continued to search for a home for Reese.
