Oksana's Full Profile
Thank you all for your generous donations to the Keith the Cat Foundation. Because of you, we were able to provide $1,500 worth of toys and gifts to the children at MD Anderson in Houston.
On Christmas morning, these brave kids—battling all kinds of childhood cancers—were able to open multiple presents. For a little while, they were able to set aside their health battles and simply relish being excited kids on Christmas morning.
From Lap Cat to Lifesaver
Hi, I’m Keith the Cat. My human, Liz, rescued me from a shelter when I was two. None of us knew back then that one day, I’d be the one rescuing her. When Liz was diagnosed with cancer, I did what cats do best—I curled up on her lap, purred, and stayed close. But I couldn’t go with her everywhere… until John, Liz's husband, brought home a t-shirt with my face on it. Suddenly, I could be by her side no matter what. That simple idea gave us a purr-fect thought: to bring comfort to others, too. Want to hear the whole story?
