Noggin was born on a cold February day in Arlington, Virginia. He was the runt of the litter, and his mother accidentally almost lost her child.
Unfortunately, many kittens are born and soon lose their mother’s protection. But Noggin’s story is quite different. In his case, Mom was under a lot of stress, almost ending Noggins’ life by licking the top of his head, exposing his brain!
It’s hard to imagine the pain this kitten went through!
After a call for help to Arlington, Va. Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) Ellen Carozza, Noggin gets the care and attention he deserves. Carozza can save Noggin’s life by providing him with the necessary medical care and love that he needs to survive.
Noggin is now a healthy and happy kitten, thanks to the care of Ellen Carozza.
The kitten, Noggin, was head is healing, and the dead tissue is sloughing off as progress. The doctor saw that needed progress had been made compared to before – one person even going as far as to say his ears now look like satellite dishes.
Noggin is a fighter. Not everyone would survive such an injury. He had problems with his eyes, but the most important thing was that the skin on his head was healing, and he was even starting to grow fur. It was a miracle.
With proper care, Noggin will have a chance at leading a happy life full of love and attention. He symbolizes hope for all animals who have been through tough times. Thanks to the help of his licensed veterinary technician, Noggin has overcome the odds and proven that anything is possible.
Being a licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) is a rewarding career where you can make a difference in the lives of animals. LVTs graduate from an AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) accredited veterinary technology program and have an associate’s or bachelor’s degree. They must also pass a state board examination to receive their licensing and complete a certain number of hours of continuing education each year to keep that license. Licensed veterinary technicians are taught veterinary medicine for various species, including dogs, cats, horses, cows, sheep, and lab animals.
