Read her remarkable story below.
Aasha was rescued from a traveling circus back in 2011. She was nine months old at the time and had lived her entire life in a cage with a particularly vicious tiger.
Her fur was falling off and her skin was badly infected. And her painful childhood stunted her growth and left her smaller than she should be: she only weighed as much as a three-month-old.
Aasha was handed over to In-Sync Exotics, an organization that cares for and rehabilitates wild felines that have suffered in captivity.
“Every day, twice a day, I would go in and give Aasha medications and spend time with her,” Vicky Keahey of In-Sync Exotics told The Dodo.
