Kitten Found with Severe Head Injury Blossoms into Happy Cat and Won’t Let Anything Stop Him

Noggin’s story began in crisis, with injuries so severe they would have deterred many from attempting treatment. The top of his head was missing, leaving him in an extremely vulnerable state.

But fate had a different plan for this special kitten when he found his way to Ellen Carozza, a dedicated guardian angel known for her unwavering commitment to saving the most challenging cases in the feline world.

As Noggin fought against infection with broad-spectrum antibiotics, his spirit never wavered. Even in his most vulnerable state, he displayed an extraordinary zest for life that would become his trademark.

Understanding his need for companionship during recovery, Ellen crafted a special solution – a carrying basket that allowed him to remain close to her throughout the day, observing the world from his mobile sanctuary.

In what seemed like divine intervention, Noggin found a mentor in Ambrose, a gentle giant among cats. This unlikely friendship blossomed into something beautiful, with Ambrose taking on the role of both teacher and protector.

Under his guidance, Noggin learned the intricacies of feline life, from proper grooming techniques to the art of playful mischief.

Though Ellen’s dedication led to remarkable healing of Noggin’s head tissue, fate had one more challenge in store.

His injured eye developed a severe ulcer, ultimately requiring removal. Yet true to his indomitable spirit, Noggin emerged from this surgery not diminished, but emboldened.

 His recovery revealed a more playful, adventurous personality that would come to define his new lease on life.

Today, Noggin’s world is filled with joy and adventure. He found his forever home with Ellen, where he lives alongside Ambrose and other foster kitties, creating a tapestry of daily adventures and mishaps.

The duo has become inseparable, often found perched by windows, engaging in their favorite pastime of neighborhood surveillance and bird-watching.

His days are rich with activity, from accompanying his mom on special “catpuccino” outings to engaging in enthusiastic games of fetch with his beloved toys.

Each day brings new opportunities for exploration and play, with Noggin approaching every moment with the same enthusiasm that helped him survive his early hardships.

As Ellen reflects on their journey together, she often says, “Adopting Noggin has certainly made our home more entertaining! Despite his rough start in life, he has made up for it by enjoying every minute of his new one!”

These words capture the essence of Noggin’s transformation – from a critically injured kitten to a vibrant, joy-filled cat who approaches each day with boundless enthusiasm.
