Hello everyone! My name is Sasha. I am approx 7 years old. I have been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed.

I'm a pretty girl, although I can sometimes be crossed-eye the shelter staff tells me it makes me even more beautiful! I was surrendered to the shelter due to behavioural urinary issues, however since being at the shelter I have not made an accident outside my litter box yet! I would prefer a home where I'm the only fur baby getting all your attention. I love cuddles and will climb up on your shoulder if you let me!
