Your cat, especially if she is really a she, is probably a common variety of cat species called a "calico." The colors arrive from a variety of genes--a true mixed breed-- which gives rise to the one blue and one green eye. Actually, eyes being each a different color is not too uncommon and even occurs in humans.

If she has short hair she is a calico domestic short hair.
If she has medium length hair she is a calico domestic medium hair.
If she has long hair she is a calico domestic long hair.
Basically she is a mixed breed cat. This is the very best kind. :-)
By the way, having blue eyes does NOT mean they will necessarily be deaf in one or both ears... it means they MIGHT be deaf. I have had 3 white cats with blue eyes and all could hear perfectly well.

That isn't a breed, it's a color and it is called calico. The eye color isn't significant, and despite what was written above, blue eyes do not indicate deafness. I'm including a link for each of these topics.

I have an odd-eyed white kitty, too. She was a feral, but now is a spoiled rotten housecat! In terms of the entire cat population, an odd-eyed white is rare. In one essay on cat genetics that I read, it was estimated at less than one percent of the total population. All I know is-- I wanted one, and it took four months to find my kitty. Some purebred cats are odd-eyed whites, such as the Turkish Angora. Probably you have a regular domestic mixed breed, though. Not worth much in monetary value, I'd suppose, even though they're beautiful! (Heck, mine came from behind a convenience store.) They are very high up on the list of desireable cats for adoption, though. The workers at the Humane Society here told me that the white cats are usually adopted so fast that they don't even get listed on their Web site.

Cool, she sounds like a Calico. I had one, miss her a lot. Having
blue eyes doesn't always mean they are deaf in that hear, my cally had a blue eye and heard fine!

She doesn't sound like any thing except for maybe a calico...oh and the side that her blue eye is on is genetics way to tell you that she is deaf in that ear...something I learned a long time ago from a vet.
good luck,
