Tiny Kitten B͏e͏g͏g͏i͏n͏g͏ fo͏r͏ R͏e͏s͏c͏u͏e͏ on the Road Has All Her Wishes Fulfilled.
A small, helpless kitten discovered on the street, yearning for someone to save her, ultimately had all of her dreams fulfilled.
Around two months back, a kind-hearted individual noticed a small kitten struggling on the side of the street and decided to lend a helping hand. As soon as the kitten caught sight of her rescuer approaching, she let out a cry and slowly made her way towards them. According to Ellen Carozza LVT, VTS (CP-Feline), the feline specialist, “She was fortunate that someone spotted her and rushed to her aid. From the start, she displayed a gentle and affectionate demeanor, showing that she wanted to be saved.”
Poppy, a kitten in distress, was discovered abandoned on the roadside. She was in poor shape – malnourished, infested with ticks, suffering from stomach issues, and with broken front legs. To The ResQ, a local animal rescue, stepped in to provide urgent medical attention to the ailing kitten. Recognizing the severity of Poppy’s condition, they reached out to Ellen from the Chris Griffey Memorial Feline Foundation (CGMFF), known for their commitment to rescuing and providing care for the most vulnerable kittens.
Ellen Carozza took in Poppy, a cat with broken legs found on the road, despite not knowing how she got there. She immediately showered Poppy with love and comfort, giving her a bath and creating custom splints for her front legs. From now on, Poppy’s life was going to be filled with care and compassion under Ellen’s watchful eye.
Poppy received brand new splints for her front legs from Ellen Carozza. Inspired by the success of a similar treatment plan on another kitten with broken legs, Ellen and her team took care of Poppy with love and care. After a few days of tender loving care, Poppy gained weight and got her strength back. She enjoyed being brushed with a toothbrush and cuddled in a towel, eagerly looking forward to the day when she could play like a lively kitten once more.
Ellen Carozza didn’t mind wearing the splints at all. She would comfortably lounge on her back, proudly showing off her belly. After a week of treatment, the improvement in her leg healing was evident, and she was finally allowed to play with another kitten. Poppy’s charming personality captured the hearts of everyone she encountered, both human and feline.
After making a swift recovery, Ellen’s enthusiasm couldn’t be contained any longer, not even by her splints. As another week passed, she made a bold decision to remove them herself, fed up with their restrictions. Poppy also displayed her cunning side by removing her braces once and pretending as though nothing had occurred.
After removing her braces, she casually ignored the change and went about her day. Ellen observed Poppy confidently moving on all fours and even imitating a meerkat perfectly when questioned about her braces. Poppy’s recovery progress was evident in her newfound freedom and her exuberant expression of joy. With the splints gone, her playful and mischievous nature resurfaced, showing her true personality.
Ellen Carozza’s cat, Poppy, made herself at home in a fresh box of pee pads, choosing it over her usual beds for a nap. Being the helper she is, she quickly jumped into the laundry basket filled with warm clothes. Poppy then showcased her acrobatic skills by scaling the heights of a cat tree and lounging on the highest platform, striking a pose with her belly up and toes pointed elegantly like a ballerina.
Ellen Carozza expressed joy in seeing Poppy enjoy playing, climbing, and just being a regular kitten. She was delighted at Poppy’s successful recovery and how she was now thriving. Poppy’s wish for a forever home with a caring family and fellow feline companions was granted when she found the perfect family who had been eagerly waiting for her.
During Poppy’s healing process, a previous adopter was in search of a companion for her cat, Finnegan (a CGMFF graduate). Captivated by Poppy’s charming personality and brave demeanor, she believed Poppy would be a wonderful new member of their household.
Poppy used to be a little mischievous helper with the laundry, but now she has transformed into a lively and spirited young cat who embraces life with vigor. She now happily resides with her adoring family in their dream home.
