"Elmer was submerged in two gallons of canola oil. After several hours of gentle rubbing and massaging, most of the glue had separated and patches of the cat's gray and white fur began to appear."
"If that Good Samaritan had not come along, he probably would've died within minutes, Misty Mendes, the rescue group's director of shelter medicine, told the Post."
"Owens looked after Elmer through weeks of intensive treatment to remove the last traces of the hardened adhesive from his fur and says his company also comforts her after she lost her husband."
Elmer, a two-month-old kitten, was rescued from a bucket of glue and underwent intensive treatment to recover. After being found dehydrated and near death, he was nursed back to health with canola oil baths. His foster parent, Leah Owens, has formed a strong bond with him, providing comfort after her husband's passing. The Humane Society received numerous adoption applications for Elmer, but he will remain with Owens, who played a crucial role in his recovery and has found joy in their companionship.
