A kitten rescued after being found trapped in industrial glue has recovered and found a permanent home following weeks of treatment and rehabilitation at a veterinary practice in Eatons Hill.
A Critical Rescue
The kitten, later named Titan, was discovered clinging to the edge of a vat of industrial glue at Clontarf, just north of Brisbane. Only weeks old at the time, he was rushed to Eatons Hill Veterinary Surgery in a fragile condition, with glue heavily embedded in his fur and visible damage to his skin.
Veterinary staff immediately began treatment, sedating and carefully shaving him to remove the adhesive. As the glue was cleared, raw and irritated skin was revealed underneath, requiring fluids, antibiotics and close monitoring during the early stages of recovery.
Slow Healing and Growing Strength
In the days that followed, updates from the practice confirmed that Titan’s condition was gradually improving. His skin began to heal, though peeling and discomfort were expected as the remaining glue residue worked its way out. Full recovery was expected to take several weeks, including time for his fur to regrow.
As his health stabilised, the kitten’s progress drew strong public interest, with many people following his recovery and offering messages of support.
Finding the Right Home
On 18 November, the practice opened applications for Titan’s adoption. Due to the level of interest, the process was managed through a formal application system to ensure a suitable long-term placement.
By 23 November, the clinic confirmed that Titan had been matched with a family and would soon leave the surgery to begin life in a permanent home.
Settling Into Family Life
In early December, the practice shared that Titan had settled in with the Hamilton family and was adjusting well. Updates indicated he was becoming more confident and active, with his personality emerging as his recovery continued.
Veterinary staff noted that while his physical healing was ongoing, his progress at home reflected a positive outcome following his early trauma.
A Reminder of Ongoing Rescue Efforts
While Titan’s story captured wide attention, the Eatons Hill practice continues to care for hundreds of rescue animals each year. His recovery highlights the outcomes that can follow sustained veterinary care, careful rehabilitation and responsible adoption.
