A happily recovering cat with the most adorable face is thrilled to be getting better after being discovered alone and neglected on the streets.
Milo’s Sanctuary, located in Los Angeles, was contacted by a generous couple from Northern California who found an abandoned cat in their neighborhood. The cat, later named Khy Shadowstryder, was in bad shape with a swollen nose and a lack of appetite. A trip to the vet revealed that he had cryptococcus, a fungal infection from breathing in outdoor fungus.
Realizing they couldn’t provide the specialized care he needed, the couple contacted Milo’s Sanctuary for help. Without hesitation, the sanctuary stepped in to rescue Khy Shadowstryder and provide him with the medical attention he deserved.
When Khy first came to Milo’s Sanctuary, he was in a terrible state – malnourished, sick, and mentally drained. His true personality was hard to discern due to the ulcers and infections on the left side of his face. Michele Hoffman, the president and founder of Milo’s Sanctuary, shared with Love Meow how they started his treatment for cryptococcus and his facial wounds right away. Despite his frailty, Khy showed incredible resilience and expressed gratitude for the care he received.

“He had an incredible fighting spirit. The determination in his eyes showed me that he was ready for a new beginning, ready to embrace life. I promised to stand by him and support him in his battle.” With gentle care and an abundance of affection, Khy’s health improved and he started to recover and regain his strength. When he was deemed fit for surgery, his wound was carefully cleaned and treated.
At Milo’s Sanctuary, Khy received the necessary care from the vet, medication, and lots of love, which gradually improved his health. Michele mentioned that they constantly reassured Khy of his handsomeness and how he is cherished and protected. With each passing day, Khy’s true personality began to shine through as he became more playful, inquisitive, and affectionate towards everyone he encountered.

It seems that Khy is a true cuddlebug. He enjoys snuggling up with other kitties, people, or even a comfy pillow. Treats and food are his favorites, and he’s starting to get the hang of playing with toys.

Khy recently became part of Milo’s Sanctuary’s Lifetime Care program and has made friends with several other long-term resident cats. Known for his signature kisses, he loves to give face rubs to any cat he encounters. Whenever his caretaker calls for him, Khy eagerly runs over, craving affection and never wanting to miss out on any pets or head snuggles.
At Milo’s Sanctuary, they have a new addition who is described as kind and affectionate, enjoying tummy rubs and kisses. While still a bit timid, the team is confident that he will soon be eagerly seeking out treats and playing with catnip toys. Michele shared with Love Meow about this charming feline.
At Milo’s Sanctuary, Khy is a shining example of resilience and love despite his past experiences. The staff are constantly in awe of his amazing, sweet, and gentle nature.
