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]

🚤 Boat Bunch Update! 😻

Finley, Henley & Brenleigh had their big weigh-in last Saturday, and the newbie gains are REAL. 💪🐱

📏 Finley: 2 lbs 5 oz
📏 Henley: 1 lb 15 oz
📏 Brenleigh: 1 lb 14 oz

A full pound gained since the last check-in — kitten gym vibes.

Do gains even count if you don’t post them on yoir socials? 😼📸

But here’s the tough part:
💔 We STILL don’t have a foster for this trio.
Cindy already has her own cats and fosters — including sweet Rocky... Remember, Moneypenny was just adopted.

✨ Adopting Rocky would give him the forever home he deserves and help lighten Cindy’s workload.
✨ Fostering or Adopting the Boat Bunch would give three more babies the space they need to grow.

🎁 SPECIAL ADOPTION PRICING through end of year:

🐾 Any PAIR: $175
🐾 Single kitten/cat: $100

This applies to ALL Sparkle cats — bonded or not.

⭐ Lilly & Willow Need a Christmas Miracle… or at least a spare bedroom. 😂🎄

We cannot believe these two haven’t been adopted or fostered yet.
Why? Because Lilly & Willow are obsessed with people.
They don’t want to hide.
They don’t want to be ignored.
They want what every cat lover dreams about...

✨ warm laps,
✨ steady pets,
✨ being held,
✨ and all the affection you’re willing to give.

If you sit down, they’re there.
If you walk by, they’re ready for cuddles.
These girls aren’t shy… they’re love sponges. 🧽💛

But their foster family is facing medical needs and urgently needs the space back — and these affectionate girls have nowhere to go.

And here’s the tough Sparkle truth:

💔 We can’t keep rescuing if we have nowhere to PUT the rescues.
💔 We need adopters. We need fosters. We need YOU.

If you’ve ever thought,
“I wish I could help,”
THIS is the moment to answer that nudge.

Even if you can’t adopt, fostering literally saves lives — and Sparkle covers all medical, the most expensive part of pet care.

Lilly & Willow are 7 months old, sweet, clingy, people-loving cuddle machines… and they need someone to step forward right now.

Can you give them what they want most — a human of their very own? 🤍

🧡 Potter Update – From Neonate Fighter to Royal Sniffle Patient 🧡

If you’ve been with Sparkle since 2019, you may remember Potter — one of the tiny neonates from the big rescue featured on LoveMeow. This little guy fought hard to survive, grew up surrounded by Sparkle love, and has been one of our most memorable glow-ups. ✨

Potter was adopted, but sadly returned last year because living with dogs was too stressful for him. Since coming back, he’s blossomed. No more hiding. No more fear. Just a quiet, gentle, sweet boy who lounges like royalty and wants a peaceful home of his own. 👑

Potter is also a diabetic kitty, and his meds cost about $300+ every three months. He takes his oral medication once a day.

Today he had an appointment at Town n’ Country Animal Hospital for a Convenia injection to treat his sniffles — he’s sometimes a noodge to medicate so this helps him feel better fast. He also got a nail trim, which he tolerated with the dignity of a king. 😼✂️

💸 Today’s total: $121.17
These senior-ish, medically-complex-ish cats are exactly why your support matters so much. We couldn’t give Potter the royal care he deserves without you. 💛

📞 If you’d like to help, please call Town n’ Country Animal Hospital (336-227-9979) and put any amount on Sparkle Cat Rescue’s account - we are there weekly with cats. Even $5 makes a difference.

🚨 HOW MAXWELL ALMOST DIED ON TRASH DAY. 🚨

(Yes… really.)

💛 November is Senior Pet Month, and today we’re spotlighting one of our Sparkle seniors: Maxwell, born in 2016: 9 years young. Senior pets need regular vet care, stability, and extra love — and this boy reminded us exactly why this week.

Maxwell had two vet visits at Town n’ Country on October 20th & 21st for his ear polyp removal & treatment for a respiratory infection. That invoice, $654.14 — didn’t get covered.

And… he’s back at Town n’ Country today for a recheck on the polyp, a POST-ESCAPE exam, and likely a Convenia injection because he’s sniffly again.
💸 We estimate today’s visit will be around $200–$300.

That's $900 - $1000 needed to cover Maxwell's recent vet visits.

So why does Maxwell need a post-escape exam?

Because on Monday afternoon, Maxwell escaped — and what happened next could have ended VERY badly.

🛏️ Stephanie & Jim had taken the futon mattress to the curb for bulk trash pickup. Maxwell has always loved hiding under the blankets on that futon. They didn’t realize he had slipped outside and burrowed inside it again… after it was already out at the curb.

For two nights she kept hearing noises, thinking it was inside the house or a stray outside — but it was most-likely poor Maxwell.

This morning, Stephanie noticed a strange lump under the sheet covering the futon. She touched it and instanly knew it was Maxwell! Maxwell didn’t move — he was frozen in fear. She pulled him out gently and carried him inside.

Trash pickup was today.
If she hadn’t checked again… he would have been killed. Horribly.

He’s safe. He’s loved. He’s getting vet care today.

But emotionally — and financially — it’s been A LOT for our small rescue.

📞 Please call Town n’ Country Animal Hospital (336-227-9979) and put any amount on Sparkle Cat Rescue’s account. No donation is too small — $5 adds up to big things.

🎉 AMBER: FOUND! 🎉

Our girl gave everyone a scare… but she is SAFE and back inside! 💛🐾

Amber was finally spotted near the trap we had set for her — and in true Amber fashion, she ACCIDENTALLY walked right in while playing. 😆 The door shut, she panicked for a moment, but she is now back home, safe, sound, and getting all the love. 🥹💕

Accidents happen. Even indoor-only cats slip out. Today we have 3 lost Sparkle Cat stories to share with you...

What matters is getting them home, and microchips + community help save lives.
All Sparkle Cats are microchipped so they ALWAYS have a way back to us — this is exactly why.

👉 If your pet is chipped, take two minutes today to make sure the registration info is current.
👉 Next vet visit, ask them to scan the chip — just to confirm it reads perfectly.
👉 If your pet isn’t chipped, please consider it. It’s affordable…and priceless.

We’re sharing the Lost Cat Tips graphic (swipe ➡️), because you never expect a “lost cat day” until it happens — and preparation saves lives.

Welcome home, Amber. 💖

And thank you to her foster, neighbors, and Sparkle supporters who kept their eyes open and hearts hopeful. 🐾✨

Foster mom Katherine was sick with a nasty cold… and look who climbed up to be her tiny nurse. 😭💛

This is Ivy — gently resting her head on Katherine’s shoulder, purring like a little healing machine, because she knows her human doesn’t feel well.

This baby has been through so much, yet all she wants in life is to love and be loved.
💛 Ivy had to have one of her eyes surgically removed earlier this year.
💛 Her sister has already been adopted.
💛 And Ivy? She’s still waiting… still hoping… still loving with her whole heart.

How is a kitten this sweet, this intuitive, this magical not already in her forever home?

If you’ve been thinking about adopting — this is your sign.

Ivy is special. She’s resilient. She’s gentle. She’s the cat who understands you, curls into you, and gives comfort when you need it most.

Someone out there is meant to be Ivy’s person.

Please let it be you. 💛

😛✨ TONGUE OUT TUESDAY: Milo’s Micro-Blep Edition! ✨😛

Milo would like everyone to know that size doesn’t matter… at least not when it comes to bleps. 😹💗

Please admire his teeny tiny pink tongue and his multicolored toe beans.

Milo is about 8.5 months old and has been in foster care for 5 months — over half his life! This handsome boy used to live on the golf course… until the day he marched up to Lori’s husband on a walk and said, “Yep. I live with you now.” 🏌️‍♂️➡️🏠

He never understood why all those tall humans chased little balls around and didn’t share them, but don’t worry — he has plenty of his own now. Balls, mice, springs… if it moves, Milo is playing with it. Hard. 😂

Milo is a social butterfly who LOVES people. He likes having a playful kitty friend and would do great with older kids (he is very committed to being the center of attention 💁‍♂️). Dogs? Totally unfazed. Big sister Maggie? …Terrifying. (We don’t talk about Maggie. 👀)

He even has a secret superpower: nurse Milo. When his foster mom had foot surgery, he walked beside her scooter and sat guard on the shower seat to make sure she made it back safely. 🖤 This boy loves BIG.

Let’s get this sweet, funny, loyal little blep-master a forever home!
👇 Tell us in the comments: Does your kitty blep? 😛🐾 (Engagement helps Milo get seen!)

It's Tilly Tuesday and Tilly has another scary story for you...

“Let me tell you a scary story…” — Tilly

It’s not about monsters.
It’s not about ghosts.
It’s not even about the vacuum cleaner. 😼

Tilly’s scary story is this:
What if she spends another Thanksgiving without a family of her own? 🦃
What if she wakes up on another Christmas morning still wondering when it will be her turn to be chosen? 🎄
What if her forever home never comes? 💔

That’s the real fear.
Because Tilly is a gorgeous dilute tortie, a panleuk survivor, and one of the sweetest, gentlest Sparkle Cats you’ll ever meet. She does well with other cats and a dog, she plays when she’s comfy, zooms when she’s happy, and melts into pure sweetness once she trusts you.

She’s been waiting over a year — watching kittens come and go...

Tilly doesn’t want to tell scary stories.
She wants to tell a love story — hers.
She just needs her people to show up. 🏡💗

🎉🐾 HAPPY TAILS x3! 🐾🎉

We’ve got triple the joy to share — three Sparkle Kitties have been adopted! 😻💖

✨ Taylor has been adopted by her foster, Terry! (We call that a foster win 🥰)
✨ Chance has been adopted by her foster, Kathy! Another foster fail that’s a total success! 🎉
✨ Moneypenny broke the trend — she’s been adopted (not by her foster, lol 😹) and now has a new feline friend in her forever home!

We checked in with foster mom Cindy to see how Rocky is doing without his sister, and she said he’s doing great — spending time with her adult boy Tango, a Sparkle alum! 💕

🙏 Fingers crossed for more happy tails this holiday season!

We still have 18 kittens from the 2025 Sparkle Kitten Crew waiting for forever homes, plus:
🐱 Joey, Shaggy, and Peter & Amani — all Sparkle alums who’ve returned and are hoping for their second chance ❤️
💔 And sweet Lilith, currently at the clinic with nowhere to go — she needs an adopter or foster ASAP.

It’s the season of giving, so let’s keep giving Sparkle Kitties the gift of home — whether it’s foster or forever. 🏡✨

⚠️ WE HAVE A LOST SPARKLE KITTEN! ⚠️

Message from Owner: "Amber is extremely shy and will not let you pick her up. She is a foster at Sparkle Cat Rescue and she escaped Saturday.

🎄✨ All dressed up and nowhere to go! ✨🎄

Fiona and Lea are rocking their holiday best — plaid basket, festive bandanas, and enough sparkle to light up a Christmas tree. 🎁💫

They’ve been in foster care since July, and these 7-month-old sisters would love to spend their first holiday season in a forever home instead of just photobombing the wrapping paper. 😹

They’re sweet, neat, lap-loving girls who get along with cats and dogs — the purr-fect pair to snuggle under your tree. 🐾❤️

Rescues can only rescue when cats get adopted — help us make room for the next Sparkle kitties waiting to be saved! 💕
