NUI THE FAMOUS LOST MAINE COON CAT IS SICK.

$4,130 of $5,000 goal
Given by 52 generous donors in 5 weeks

Nui the famous lost Maine Coon is home after 3 months living in the wild, sadly Nui nearly died as had a blocked intestine.

Paekakariki, Wellington

Any koha to help with vet bills would mean so much.

For 3 long months i hunted all.over greater Wellington and Kāpiti region for my cat NUI.

NUI WAS 20KM FROM HOME SURVIVING WILD ON A FARM AT THE TOP OF PAEKĀKĀRIKI HILL

The story captivated the region as we never gave up on each other.

Sadly the time away eating rabbits has caused health issues,Nui was loosing weight so fast, vomitting and I kept taking her to the vet but they kept treating her for blockage from fur... Luckily I changed vets, the xrayed immediately and operated that day and SAVED HER LIFE. Nui has a blocked intestine, her tummy was full of the most vile liquid, she has no weight. she would of died if I had not acted. Her care is ongoing die to fact she may have kidney issues now too. But she is on the mend and vet checks continue. ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO VETSMART IN PLIMMERTON FOR NUIS VET BILLS AND ONGOING CARE which includes expensive kai / food.

Nui current vet bills an ongoing care  21 May 2025

I have extended the givealittle as we still have tests to run regarding kidneys and special very expensive diet to maintain.

We are waiting on the results of the testing of the intestine to rule our cancer too as we must check all options.

The support has meant to much and 100% is going to VetSmart for her care and ongoing care. If there is any amount over and above it will sit in credit for NUI and ONLY NUI. Ngā mihi aroha
