Welcome!

This blog was created in honor of Khan, the Warrior Cat, to provide his fans with updates and information on his progress. Khan was rescued by Shadow Cats in Round Rock, Texas in 2006, after being hit by a car and found wandering the highway. He underwent several surgeries performed by Dr. Roy Smith at the Central Texas Cat Hospital to restore his smashed jaw, remove his damaged eye, and restore mobility. He still had damaged ears from years of infections, neurological problems, only two teeth, and spinal injuries that affected his gait, but he had a great spirit. He got to know many people, and many others heard his story, during the time he stayed at Shadow Cats and the two years during which we were blessed to have him in our home. This blog is dedicated to them, to all of those involved in his rescue, and to anyone who has helped a cat in desperate need.

Improvements!

Khan is doing noticeably better. I can tell when I lift him that he has gained weight, and his fur is looking much healthier than a few days ago. He's also gotten some "life" back into him--he even tried to run off a few times during his last tube feeding! He isn't eating on his own yet, but we've added an appetite stimulant, so maybe in a day or two. I'm feeling very hopeful! They said he might have some permanent liver damage, but it is manageable with medication.
