NOVA NATION

Paws Up

As the University’s official mascot, Will D. Cat may lead the pack in showing school spirit, but he is far from the only four-legged Villanova fan. When the call went out for Nova Nation to share photos of their pets, our inbox was filled with adorable creatures wearing blue and white. Here are just a few of Villanova’s most loyal furry friends.
