DONATE MONETARILY:

We are working with limited funds and foster homes to help the forgotten felines and get them appropriate vet care. With donations from the public, we are able to take care of their medical needs: spay/neuter, vaccinate them, ensure they test neg. for feline leukemia, and socialize and prepare them for their forever homes.

ADOPT (MEET N GREETS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY)
We are not a shelter and don't have an adoption center for visitors. All cats are in private foster homes waiting to be adopted. With an approved adoption application, we can set up a meet n greet. Appointment only with approved adopters. Kittens can be "adoption pending" before they are fully vetted. ADOPTION APPLICATION can be found at: https://form.jotform.com/92366480127156

REHOME YOUR ADOPTED SPARKLE CAT:
If you adopted a Sparkle Cat and can no longer keep them, we ask that you contact us immediately to work with us to find a foster. Our adoption agreement with you states we want our cats returned to us and not rehomed by you. Email us at [email protected]

Sparkle alum Simba (formerly Billy) is living the good life — this photo was taken right after he finished chasing his sisters, fellow Sparkle alums Naya and Bailey. 😹💨

His mom says she’s “still waiting for him to grow into his paws,” which… honestly tracks. Big paws = big mischief.

And when Stephanie asked how things were going with Simba and the girls, Mom said:
“They are slowly getting used to him. Dave took a picture recently with all three sleeping around me. It is a process.”

For those keeping track:
🐾 Simba — fluffy tabby
🐾 Naya — dilute torti
🐾 Bailey — darker calico & the eldest queen of the house

Sibling shenanigans + slow-blooming friendships = the Sparkle way. 💛

🧡🍂 Meet Rollo — our newest reason to be grateful this season. 🍂🧡

Rollo is about 1.5 years old, and until now… he never had a name, a family, or anyone to belong to. He spent his life wandering alone — shy, unsure, and never really knowing what love felt like.

Then everything changed.
Two kind humans noticed him… and waited for him.
Every day. Twice a day.
And every time he showed up, they were there.

Slowly, Rollo decided he could trust them. He discovered pets, chin scritches, BELLY RUBS, and head-butts. He learned he was safe. He learned he mattered. 💛

He’s still a little shy, but he’s gentle, loving, and wants nothing more than a calm, caring home. He uses his litter box, gives the sweetest leg rubs, and has never tried to bite or scratch. He’s simply a good boy who finally understands what love is — and wants more of it.

This Thanksgiving season, we’re grateful Rollo found kindness. We're grateful his rescuers are now Sparkle Fosters. 💖

Now he needs a forever family to give him the rest of his story. 🏡✨

Taylor’s mom sent us this Thanksgiving update… and honestly, same girl, same. 😹🦃💤

Taylor looks like she ate way too much, unbuttoned her pants, found the softest spot in the house, and fell straight into a post-Thanksgiving carb coma. If this isn’t the most relatable holiday mood, we don’t know what is.

Sparkle alum and senior queen, Mimi “Meemers,” and her dad James want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡🦃

And based on that expression… Meemers would like to state, for the record, that she is thankful — but she is also monitoring the turkey situation very closely. Very. Closely. 😼🍗

Her dad keeps her in tip-top shape with semi-annual senior wellness exams, and she’s doing great! She’s due for her next one in December.

😻 One-Eyed Wonder Ivy — Cute, Sweet, Chaotic, Adoptable!

Foster mom Katherine wants everyone to know: Ivy & Gus are NOT bonded. They adore each other, but they’ll be totally fine being adopted separately. 💛

Ivy is about 8 months old, has been in foster 7 months, and yes — she is a one-eyed, beautiful buff queen who snores like a lumberjack.
Like… actual lumberjack. And her purr? Just as loud. 😂💤

Now listen… Ivy is sweet, affectionate, playful, and melts into her humans —
BUT do not come between this girl and her food.
Ivy is very passionate about mealtime.
Let’s call it that.
✨ Deeply passionate.
✨ Wholeheartedly committed.
✨ Dedicated to her craft.
The girl LOVES her snacks. 😹🍗

We even have proof she finally hit her limit with Gus pouncing on her tail — the paw swipe photo clearly shows Gus’s fur stuck between her toes. He absolutely deserved it.

She snuggles.
She plays.
She nurses sick humans.
She throws paws when necessary.
She is a full-spectrum cat experience. 💛

Her sister Daisy was adopted.
It's Ivy’s turn.
This sweet, silly, resilient girl deserves a forever family of her very own.

Check the video in this post — she’s a playful little bean who just wants love, toys, and her next meal on time. 🥹💖

And she’d also really prefer her tail NOT be used as a toy, thank you very much.

✨🌈 Forever in Our Hearts, Rosie 🌈✨

Some cats slip quietly into your life and end up taking a piece of your heart with them. Rosie was one of those souls.

Rescued as a young cat in 2016, Rosie briefly tried living in another home — but she was deeply unhappy without Stephanie & Jim. She made it clear where she belonged. She chose them, and they loved her for the rest of her life. 💗

Rosie spent nearly her whole life as a Sparkle Cat Rescue forever foster… but to Bogey, she was so much more. She was his best friend, his keeper, his constant shadow. We called her Nurse Rosie because she never left his side. When Bogey passed in 2024, a piece of her went with him.

In the last month, Rosie began declining rapidly — losing weight, crying, and becoming extra clingy, choosing to sleep pressed against Stephanie every night. Stephanie shared, “The hardest part with her was her meowing at me yesterday. Mentally she wasn’t ready but physically she was.”

Rosie was camera shy, but she gave love loudly — wrapping her paws around your shoulders from behind as if she were hugging you. 💔 “She would put her paws up on my shoulders if my back was to her… like she was hugging me.”

On November 23, Rosie crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Bogey was waiting.

Sweet Rosie…
Thank you for choosing Sparkle.
Thank you for loving Bogey so fiercely.
Thank you for every quiet moment, every hug, every ounce of tenderness you gave.

You will always be in our hearts. 💗🌈

👑 Brenleigh — the Pretty Princess of Sparkle Cat Rescue 👑

Her foster calls this photo a “prime example of Pretty Princess!”

And honestly? They’re not wrong.

🐾 Brenleigh (a.k.a. Pretty Princess)
Most likely to find the softest spot in any room…

and look breathtaking while doing absolutely nothing.

A true talent. A lifestyle. A calling. 😻✨

She’s sweet, gentle, and ready for a forever home where she can continue her royal duties of being adorable 24/7.

Remember The Buffs? 💛

Rescued back in August — look how teeny tiny they were in that photo! Now take a look at Pepper… or should we say Seamus. 😼✨

We’ve got a fantastic update from his family:

“Update: Seamus ‘The Terrorist’ weighed in at 8 lbs today. Had to stop the kitten food — he was getting so fat! Everyone loves him (except Baby, who hates him but is dealing with it), even my husband who is NOT a cat person.”

From itsy bitsy baby Buff to chunky, confident chaos machine… that’s what we call a Sparkle success story. 💛😹
