Hello to all residents of Ulye and, of course, all devoted cat lovers!
First, I want to thank all the users of Hive who worried about Noris and were not indifferent to his fate. Thank you very much!
I have the happiest news for you: our indestructible hero Noris has fully recovered and is now happily settling into his new, permanent family!
His path to this moment was incredibly difficult and long, but all this time Noris demonstrated astonishing fortitude. Due to the large size of the necrotic tissue that had to be removed, he underwent a total of six complex plastic surgeries, not counting regular minor stitchings twice a week. The most amazing part is that all these painful medical manipulations were performed under local anesthesia. And he did it! This little fighter bravely endured all the procedures. His patience, courage, and composure won the hearts of absolutely all the medics who were involved in saving him. He is a true example of vitality.
After the clinic, it was time for rehabilitation. Initially, he needed his movement strictly restricted, so he lived in a cage on my balcony. But keeping a six-month-old kitten full of energy and a thirst for life locked up was nearly impossible. He yearned to play, run, jump, and explore the world he had seen only through bars for so long. And that's when Noris began to demonstrate his exceptional intelligence and good manners. Gradually, I started letting him out of the cage—first just onto the balcony, then into the room. He amazed me with his behavior: he perfectly understood what he could do and what he definitely shouldn't. He wasn't just a kitten; he was a very smart and tactful little "child."
The next challenge was socialization. I carefully began introducing him to my four adult pets. I admit, I was very afraid: what if they didn't accept him? What if they tore open his hard-healing stitches during play? But Noris exceeded all expectations once again. He didn't provoke anyone, clearly sensed the other cats' personal boundaries, and never crossed them. He integrated so harmoniously and peacefully into the group that he immediately became a full-fledged, fifth member of my feline family.
During this time, I finally realized that this hero deserved the best home possible. I grew so attached to him that the decision came naturally: the little one is staying with us forever. Welcome home, Noris!
