🎉 Say hello to Leo & Fiona—two of our 2025 Sparkle Kitten Crew superstars! 🐾✨

These cuties were rescued in June from a busy, dangerous road they likely wouldn’t have survived much longer. Their feral mama has since been spayed and safely returned to the property with food and shelter—but these little ones? They're ready for the good life. 🛏️🧸🍗

Fostering with the amazing Pam, Leo & Fiona are thriving! While they’re still a few weeks away from adoption, we are now accepting applications and scheduling meet & greets for approved adopters! 🎉

🩺 Fully vetted
📎 Microchipped
🏡 Your new furry family member will always have a way back home to you!

🛒 Their vet care is covered, but we could still use your help with:
🍽️ Food
🧻 Litter

👉 Please shop our Wish Lists or donate if you’re able—and help us keep the kitten magic going!

🖤 LOVELY LARRY IS STILL WAITING 🖤
Rescued in July 2022 with his sister Minnie, Larry has now waited nearly three years for someone to give him a forever home. That’s three years of being sweet, patient, and overlooked. 💔

This handsome tuxedo gentleman is about 4 years old and loves:
🪟 Staring out the window like it’s his job
🐾 Hanging with other cats
🐶 Hanging with a chill dog
💛 Gaining your trust and becoming incredibly affectionate once he feels safe

He’d love to be adopted with his sister Minnie, but he’s also independent enough to thrive on his own.

✨ Why adopt an adult cat like Larry?
✔️ Established personality – what you see is what you get
✔️ Litter-trained and past the high-maintenance kitten phase
✔️ Chill and calm – perfect for busy households or quieter homes
✔️ Deep bond potential – adult rescues know when they’re loved, and they love you back tenfold

Larry’s been waiting far too long for someone to choose him. Let's make this tuxedo boy’s next chapter the best one yet.

📩 Apply to adopt: https://www.sparklecatrescue.org/adopt.html

He’s ready. All he needs is you.

🌟 MEET MINNIE 🌟
Yes, she’s as sweet as she looks. Yes, she’s been waiting way too long. 💔

Minnie was rescued in July 2022 from an outdoor colony. Originally slated for TNR, she was way too friendly to go back to street life. That’s when her wonderful fosters, Rachel and Steve, stepped in. 🏡💕

She’s now a young adult, fully vetted, and fostering in a loving home—but still has zero applications. Not one. And we don’t get it! She’s:

💚 Sweet and social
🐾 Great with other cats
🐶 Likes dogs
👀 Rocking the most stunning green eyes
🛋️ Has a lovable tabico personality

She’d love to be adopted with her brother, Larry (a handsome tuxedo!) but is also perfectly content flying solo.

💭 Thinking about adopting a cat? Consider all the benefits of an adult:
✔️ Personality is already known—no surprises
✔️ Litter-trained and past the kitten chaos
✔️ Calmer, gentler energy
✔️ More grateful than you could ever imagine

Minnie’s been patiently waiting 3 years for her chance. Let’s not let her keep waiting.

📩 Apply to adopt: www.sparklecatrescue.org/adopt.html

Let’s get this girl the home she truly deserves. 💛

🩺 QUINCY UPDATE! 🐾

Today this sweet senior boy visited for a recheck of his thyroid levels. He’s on twice-daily meds to help regulate things, and today was a follow-up to see how he’s doing. When we get the results of today's bloodwork, we will post an update. 💊💙

We’re thrilled to share that Quincy’s entire vet bill was covered by a generous sponsor—a huge thank you to Debbie W. for making that possible. Your kindness means the world to Quincy and to all of us at Sparkle Cat Rescue! 🧡🙏

Quincy was found as a stray in Burlington just a few weeks ago. Despite being posted as found, no one ever came forward to claim him. So now… he’s officially a Sparkle Kitty. ✨

Estimated to be about 10 years old, Quincy is blind and deaf (but yes, we still talk to him 😄). What he lacks in senses, he makes up for in purrs, chatter, and love for his food and treats. He absolutely soaks up human attention and gives it right back. 💕🗣️

This is what Sparkle Cat Rescue is all about—saving forgotten felines who would otherwise be left behind. We’re so glad Quincy found his way to us. He may not hear us, but he feels the love. 🐾💫

THE CARRIER
A Sparkle Cat favorite. Collapsible. Great for fear-free Vet visits, often kitty can stay in the carrier during the exam. Bonus: Sparkle Cat Pillows made by volunteers fit nicely in this carrier. Shop for the carrier via our Amazon Affiliate Link and Amazon gives us a little bit of love 💰. Come on into Fridays & Saturdays 12p-4p to pick up a pillow or 2.

SportPet designs collapsible carrier. https://a.co/d/5DdSkef

🎬✨ A little cuteness for your day: meet Simon, Lilly, and Willow—3 adorable members of the 2025 Sparkle Kitten Crew! 🐾💕

These three aren’t related, but they’ve become the best of buddies in foster care!

🐱 Simon is a handsome Siamese boy rescued from a TNR colony in Graham. He’s a favorite already and has two approved applications—he may soon be adoption pending if his meet & greet goes well! 🤞

🌿 Willow was found in the bushes of a Burlington bank parking lot. She’s safe now, thriving, and officially adoptable!

🚗 Lilly, the tiniest tabby of the crew, was found under a car in a Burlington neighborhood. She’s also healthy, happy, and ready for her forever home!

Thanks to the generous and loving support of our amazing community, all the 2025 Sparkle Kitten Crew members have had their basic vet care sponsored! 🩺💉

✨ Every Sparkle Kitten is fully vetted, healthy, and microchipped—so your new furry family member will always have a way back home to you.

But we’re still in need of:
🍽️ Food
🧻 Litter
🎾 Toys & cozy supplies

We’ve created a special PayPal link just for the Kitten Crew. Every little bit helps us keep them fed, safe, and purring!

💖 MORGANA UPDATE 💖
Our sweet Morgana was at yesterday & we provided an update on our social media yesterday.

We checked in with Morgana’s wonderful fosters today and it is good news: she's feeling better. She is nice and cool and she's walking on her leg.

This girl has had a rough go of it since she came to Sparkle Cat Rescue in February 2022 💕

Since late last year, Morgana has battled an ongoing, mysterious illness. Her FIV+ status makes it harder for her to fight infection, and while she improves on medication, each time she comes off of it, she crashes—losing appetite, becoming lethargic, needing SubQ fluids and emergency vet visits. In October 2024, Morgana began 84 days of treatment for dry FIP—and she made it through. 💪Through every setback, she’s remained sweet, patient, and trusting. Just a beautiful little girl full of heart and hope.

🩺 Yesterday’s visit was $254.56. More expenses are coming. If you’re able to help:

💵 Donate via PayPal for her medical care: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=7LHGUX9YGTJJA

📦 Shop Morgana & Merlin’s wishlist:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2WATFGCCZZRD1

📞 Call Town N Country Animal Hospital (Burlington, NC) to put any amount toward Morgana’s bill. Sparkle Cat always has Vet bills to pay, if we receive more than the amount of her last invoice, the funds will be used for another Sparkle Kitty.

💖 Every share, every dollar, every kind thought—it matters. Morgana is fighting for her life, and we’re fighting for her.

Thank you for your support.

🚨 Update from Sparkle Cat Rescue 🚨

As many of you know, our nonprofit shop and office space sustained water damage during the recent storms.

We want to first say we’re incredibly thankful to our landlord, who has always been generous and supportive of our rescue. That said, some followers have asked why the landlord isn’t handling the cleanup and repairs.

HERE'S THE REALITY:
Our landlord owns multiple properties and is addressing issues across several locations. In the meantime, we can’t afford to wait — not when there’s water trapped beneath the vinyl plank flooring.

Every time we walk on it, water seeps up from the seams (see reel). That means there is moisture underneath the floorboards, and if we leave it alone, we’re setting ourselves up for a bigger (and more expensive) problem: mold. Mold is toxic — for both animals and humans.

THE HARD TRUTH?
The flooring will likely need to be completely removed and replaced. But until we figure out how we can possibly afford that, we’re doing everything we can to minimize the damage and protect the space.

OUR NONPROFIT SHOP MUST STAY OPEN — it's a major source of funding for the 100+ cats currently in our care.

HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP:
□ If you have a viable connection in the flooring world (installation, materials, labor, etc.), we’d love to talk to you.
□ We will gratefully thank and promote any business or individual who steps in — on our social media and on a dedicated sponsorship thank-you page on our website.

Please only message us if you have a direct and viable lead. We’re in urgent need, and time and energy are limited.

Thank you to everyone who continues to show up for We’re tired, but we’re hopeful — and we always keep going for the cats.

💔 MORGANA UPDATE 💔
Our sweet Morgana is home from —but she’s not doing well. She’s running another high fever, and now shows signs of pain in her right knee. When the vet gently extended her leg, she began shaking—something she didn’t do on the other side. 😿

She’s going home with pain meds, SubQ fluids, and more needles, which her incredible fosters Lauren & Erin in Gibsonville, NC will administer tonight. If her fever doesn’t break by tomorrow, Morgana will need to return for hospitalization. They’ve also ordered Veraflox, an antibiotic she’s responded to before, but both vet offices are currently out, and we’re nearly out too. 💊

This girl has had a rough go of it since she came to Sparkle Cat Rescue in February 2022 💕

🌟 MEET MEKADA! 🌟
4½ years fabulous, hair tie hunter, catnip enthusiast, and bottle cap connoisseur. 😸🎀🥏

Mekada came to Sparkle Cat Rescue in 2022 with her Sparkle buddies Felix and Pickles when their adopter could no longer care for them. While she wasn’t originally one of our cats, we said YES because that’s what Sparkle family does. 💖🐾

She’s sweet, playful, and totally ready to sparkle in a home of her own! ✨
✅ Great with calm cats
✅ Would also thrive as the only spoiled queen
✅ Loves the simple things (trash treasures & catnip included)

💬 “Still here. Still waiting. Still perfect.”

The truth? We have many adult cats like Mekada who’ve been waiting years to be chosen. It’s sad—but we believe there’s a forever home out there for each of them. Maybe yours? 🏡

Apply to adopt 👉 https://www.sparklecatrescue.org/adopt.html

Let’s make sure Mekada and her friends don’t spend another year just waiting. 💔🐱
