Blind, 3-Legged South Carolina Kitten Finds Forever Home
Adorable black and white cat.
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.
The Army Corps Of Engineer's 2023 Calendar Of Attacking Cats Is A Thing
Back in November of 2021, the government passed the One Trillion Dollar Infrastructure bill. And it looks like it’s not a moment too soon. Apparently, giant cats are attacking the Northwest United States. Of course it’s not real. But a calendar that depicts this happening is funny.
According to Good News Network “The new 2023 calendar highlighting the achievements of the US Army Corps of Engineers features giant cats superimposed in photos of their engineering successes.” More than anything, it’s really just cats being cats. Attacking things, lounging around, chewing. Cat stuff. And best of all, they’re giving away the calendar for free.
The actual calendar can be downloaded and printed here. Because the Army Corps is a Government Agency, the calendar is in public domain and totally free to download and print. But one note, don’t be impatient. Once you click on the link to view the calendar it will take about two minutes even on a fast connection.
I’m wondering where in the Infrastructure Bill they snuck in “Giant Cat Calendar.” It seems to be an ongoing theme of Government agencies showing a lighter side. Last weekend when “Florida Woman Tries To Bring ‘Emotional Support Boa Constrictor’ Onto Plane In Tampa” happened, we realized that the TSA has an Instagram page that consists of mostly “dad jokes.”
