FEATURE - Gehör ist immer noch perfekt: Ex-Strassenkatze Nora aus Wisconsin lebt nach Operation ohne Ohren
EXCLUSIVE: *NO RTL USAGES*

Former street cat with NO EARS becomes Instagram star – and her hearing is still perfect

Nora has earned an army of fans on Instagram (@nora.no.ears) boasting 28,500 followers.
