Stuck on you: kitten rescued from bucket of glue bonds with foster parent

Two-month-old Elmer, painstakingly saved by canola oil baths, finds home with volunteer Leah Owens, 72

A two-month-old kitten whose life was saved when he was rescued from a bucket of glue has bonded with the foster parent who helped him to recover - and is sticking with her permanently.

Staff at the Humane Society of North Texas say they were swamped with applications to adopt tiny Elmer after the non-profit shared on social media in mid-April the story of how the cat was found dehydrated and close to death in a pot of glue - before being painstakingly nursed back to health with canola oil baths and hours of massages.
