Be honest, is she doomed?

She’s too skinny and has curled leaves, looking for some tips if anyone can help I would really appreciate it - rescued her from a home with cats that kept nibbling the leaves!

Some kind of monstera??

She does NOT SEEMED DOOMED, DONT GIVE UP!! As soon as possible, if you haven’t already, and if you can, change her potting mix to orchid bark or cocoa. And for the cat nibbles, I’m currently at my sister’s house, and her cats have bitten ALOT of my Monstera’s leaves. Your sweet baby will be okay, (I’m not being sarcastic 😭) 1. it adds character, 2. it can heal if needed, 3. You can trim the leaves if you want to (just be careful!), and 4. These plants are WAY more durable and insistent on living than we think. Keep going, you got this!!🩶🫶🏿
