Muffin’s Pet Connection: Sasha needs a loving home

MEWS MEWS: Sasha, a two-year-old, long hair gray beauty, walks with pride and grace, performing a dance by slowly lifting and lowering each paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. She was diagnosed with stomatitis, a general term thatrefers to inflammation of the oral cavity,and had most of her teeth removed. With her four remaining canine teeth, she enjoys eating dry and wet food, plus she loves her treats.

“The couple who adopted her, bathed her, instead of using Cat Wipes. Sweet Sasha was traumatized by the water, and returned. Our only wish for Sasha is to be adopted into a caring, gentle home, where she will be protected and loved forever.

“Medically, everything has been done. She is spayed, tested Leukemia and Aids negative, and vaccinated. She is a bit shy, but enjoys being petted with gentle chin rubs.”

Please consider adopting Sasha, by calling or texting Itty Bitty Kitty at1-917-889-5896. An adoption fee is requested, and a hard cat carrier is required when transporting Sasha.
