Hi, my name is Masha. I am a 1-year-old, medium-haired, female, Tabico cat. That means that I have calico colors, as well as tabby markings. I am a beautiful girl who is still a bit shy. My foster mom says that I have come a long way since she first took me in - from hiding whenever anyone enters the room to coming out and looking for pets! I'm still learning that all people aren’t going to hurt me, so I need someone with a lot of patience. Once I warm up, I'm a total love bug! I love all other cats! I definitely need to go to a home with another confident cat to take me under their wing. I have been introduced to kids, but I have not met dogs. I am spayed, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines, tested for FIV/FeLV (negative/negative), and have my microchip. If you are interested in making me a part of your family, please click on the following link to fill out an Adoption Application http://www.purringheartsva.org and a volunteer will reach out to you within 72 hours. I hope to hear from my forever family soon!
