Biscuit wandered onto her dad\u2019s doorstep when she was just a few months old, hoping he\u2019d adopt her. That was around seven years ago, and she\u2019s been a beloved member of the family ever since.<\/p>\n

The sweet orange cat lived a typical life for years. Then one day, something unexpected happened: Her nose started to grow.<\/p>\n

Biscuit got a fungal infection called cryptococcosis. It\u2019s usually very treatable, but for some reason, Biscuit\u2019s case was different. Not only did she get incredibly sick, but her nose also grew and grew. She needed a feeding tube to help her eat. Her parents and veterinary team worked tirelessly to figure out what was going on and how best to treat her.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the team found the right combination of medications, and slowly but surely, Biscuit began to get better. The fungal levels in her body decreased \u2014 but for some reason, her nose stayed big.<\/p>\n

\u201cBiscuit\u2019s veterinary team is the best, and they\u2019ve been involved in her care for years now,\u201d Biscuit\u2019s parents wrote on Instagram. \u201cThe swelling on her nose is from her fungal infection growing and forming scar tissue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Due to several different factors, Biscuit isn\u2019t a candidate for surgery. Her big nose is here to stay, and luckily her family doesn\u2019t mind at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe good news is that she still has a great quality of life, even with her big nose,\u201d her parents wrote. \u201cShe can breathe, eat on her own, play, run, purr and give her humans all the love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biscuit\u2019s parents began posting about her journey online, and everyone quickly fell in love with the unique cat and her big nose. Despite her struggles, she\u2019s happy, loved and getting healthier every day. She doesn\u2019t seem to notice she\u2019s any different, and her family continues to help her live her best life every single day.<\/p>\n
