Sasha is a cat we rescued. She was abandoned, on the streets for an unknown amount of time and found by a family who's children abused it. When I took her in we thought she was a kitten, but found she is at least 12 yrs old - she was just that small and skinny. The vet thought she might need to be put down. I wanted to make sure her last few months were happy. That was nearly 2 years ago. She's transformed from catatonic, anti-social "old grumpy" to a cat who loves her people.
