| FACTSHEET: ALL ABOUT Nona | |
|---|---|
| Pictures (click to enlarge previews) | |
Nona is shy with new people but really has a big attitude. She is quite cheeky and probably will come out with a big personality once she gains confidence! | |
Poor Nona was found in terrible condition in early 2025. She was pregnant but only 6kg, about half her healthy weight! We had to do immediate surgery for her survival. She tested positive for leishmania but her health recovered remarkably with good food and care. We hope Nona finds a great home so her future is happy. | |
