2 months ago was National Kitten Day, a day celebrating all of the world’s precious little cats. It turned out to be a day worth celebrating for one disabled kitten, despite all obstacles, finally found her forever home.
Noodle has been in the care of the Greenville Humane Society in South Carolina since May when the rescue took her and her siblings in after they were hit by a car. Sadly the other siblings did not survive and Noodle was the only survivor.
The two-month-old kitten suffered a serious broken leg and, although everything was done to save him, the leg ultimately had to be amputated.
Sadly, that wasn’t the end of Noodle’s health troubles: during a spay surgery, his heart suddenly stopped. Although vets quickly stepped in to revive her, she lost vision in both eyes and is unlikely to recover.
Since then, she has gotten used to living with three legs and no eyesight. But through it all, Noodle never lost her spirit: “Despite everything she’s been through, she’s still a sweet, friendly 3.5-month-old kitten,” the Greenville Humane Society wrote on Facebook.
Noodle went up for adoption. Although finding homes for disabled animals can often be a challenge, the shelter hoped there would be a home for Sweet Noodle. On July 10, they shared her story in honor of National Kitten Day.
Remarkably, Noodle quickly found a home: Just an hour after the post was shared, Greenville Humane posted an update saying that Noodle’s new family was filling out the paperwork to adopt her!
Soon, Noodle was on her way home, where she would have a loving family and two cat siblings.
If you want to follow Noodle’s adventures, the family has created her own Instagram account.
We are so happy that Noodle was adopted! We wish this sweet cat all the best in his wonderful new home.
