Blind, 3-Legged South Carolina Kitten Finds Forever Home

Here's your feel-good story of the day. A special, blind three-legged baby kitten has found her forever home. It's always really heartwarming to hear a "kitten finds forever home" story, right?

The story goes back to May, when the South Carolina kitten, named Noodle was hit by a car. It was a bad accident, but thankfully, she survived. According to the Greenville Humane Society, they tried very hard to save her front leg, but they had to amputate it. The surgery went well, but that wasn't the end of her story. A few weeks following the surgery, Noodle had another surgery to be spayed. During the surgery, her heart unexpectedly suddenly stopped. The Greenville Humane Society's medical crew revived the kitten, but due to the incident, she lost vision in both of her eyes. According to the Society, "It is very unlikely that her eyesight will ever recover, and now she’s working on adjusting to not only living life with only three legs, but also blind in both eyes."

The Greenville Humane Society took to social media to find a home for Noodle. They asked people to help them find a place "where she can grow into a confident cat." They added, "Even with everything she's been through, she's still a sweet, friendly 3.5-month-old kitten." They also asked that Noodle's new place would have other friendly cats who could "help show her the ropes and be her guide throughout life."

I'm happy to report that Noodle has found a forever home. What's even better is that the family already has two cats, so she'll have instant friends. Earlier this week, the Greenville Humane Society said Noodle's new family was signing paperwork to make the adoption final. They also posted photos of Noodle with her new family. She looks so happy with her new family, and that makes me smile.
