A tiny survivor is capturing hearts in Fort Worth. Last month, a six‑week‑old kitten was found trapped in a bucket of industrial glue and rushed to the Humane Society of North Texas. Staff say the kitten—now named Elmer—was completely coated from ears to tail and in critical condition.
Veterinarians spent days gently soaking him in canola oil and giving repeated baths to remove the hardened glue. Now, Elmer is recovering well, and his story has gone viral, drawing hundreds of adoption offers.
And there’s a happy ending: the shelter says one of his former foster families has officially adopted him after forming a special bond.
