SUMMER was adopted in 2020. She was born in 2019. I received a message from adopter that they need to return her due to their son’s allergies. No negative comments please. They have tried meds.

We need to line up a foster or adopter for her. Please apply via www.sparklecatrescue.org

Ellie is about 3 months old and working on her social skills. She has a house panther brother Finn and is very bonded to him. He got out of his room and went to another room unbeknownst to me but Ellie alerted me something was amiss. They’ve been reunited and all is good in Ellie’s world again. They are both sweet kittens that need cat savvy adopters to help them continue to socialize. They should be getting spayed/neutered in a few weeks when they hit 4 lbs. No babies for this baby. She deserves to be a kitten. www.sparklecatrescue.org

We are in great need of clumping cat litter. We were getting a good amount of litter thanks to a huge donation Sheets Pet Clinic was sharing with us and that was helping tremendously but that donation they were getting and able to share has now depleted.

My personal favorite litters for odor and tracking with multiple cats are:
🐈‍⬛ #1 Arm & Hammer Slide or Multi cat odor blasters (Black Boxes)
🐈‍⬛ #2 Arm & Hammer yellow boxes (forever fresh but others are fine)
🐈‍⬛ #3 Tidy Cat Naturally Strong
🐈‍⬛ Cats Pride low tracking (not lightweight)

Again, we will accept any clumping litter.

As we go into next week, we will need food;
🐈‍⬛ Iams dry kitten, weight management, sensitive digestion
🐈‍⬛ Friskies pate any flavor
🐈‍⬛ Fancy Feast broths
🐈‍⬛ Fancy Feast pate or grilled
🐈‍⬛ Fancy Feast kitten turkey or salmon or chicken preferred
🐈‍⬛ Nine Lives pate 5 oz or 13 oz cans

Cat introductions need to be delicately handled so each cat feels secure. Don't make the mistake of rushing the introduction. Also, never punish a cat for showing aggression. The key to a successful introduction is to give the cats a reason to like each other and to take each step slowly.

If you need some guidance on how to do an introduction, you can find the step-by-step technique in my book, Cat vs. Cat.

Young stray kitten rescued last night. Our volunteers Rachel and Steve are trapping at a neighborhood in Burlington NC off S Church Street. Multiple unspayed/unneutered cats in that neighborhood we hope to trap, fix and release adults and if kittens are social we want to find foster homes for them. This kitty is doing well and seems social enough even though he’s older.

Tilly is being spayed tomorrow and fully vetted so it’s time to find this girl a forever home! Thank you to Joyce for fostering her! www.sparklecatrescue.org/adopg

Sweet Tilly goes in for her Spay surgery tomorrow morning. She will also get her 3rd and final FVRCP and be transferred from BAS to Sparkle Cat Rescue. That means her treatment and recovery from panleukopenia is complete and she is ready to find her forever home!! I’ve let Sparkle Cat Rescue know that she is welcome to stay here until she is adopted.

Handsome Festus is really coming out of his shell and exploring more and more and allowing more pets. His bonded buddy Chester is still a little shy. They were both rescued as strays earlier this year after living most of their early years outside. Not 100% sure how old Festus is. He loves the floor to ceiling cat tower and also laying on the faux fireplace and a dresser. He’s very quiet when he feels safe. He cried a lot the first few days after he was rescued.

CASHEW is the quietest and shyest of the trio fostering in Timberlake, Nc with a wonderful foster family. Rescued just about a month ago as a stray with 20+ other cats in Burlington NC.

Super sweet, 4 year old bonded buddies, Messi and Leo are a dynamic duo looking for a forever home TWOgether! They would prefer to be the only 2 cats in the home. They tend to intimidate 3 female felines in their current home. Aside from that, they are sweet, loving, gentle giants. Love to be talked to and tend to amuse themselves happily. They do not get on furniture, excellent litter box habits, strictly indoors.

⭐️ New kitten alert. ⭐️ This tiny baby was found in Charlotte, NC and is happy to be a future Sparkle kitty. She’s traveling to Burlington tomorrow via temp 2 week foster mom’s daughter who is in college in Charlotte. After 2 weeks quarantine, baby will go to and Lauren. What a doll she is. We can’t wait to share more pics after she arrives tomorrow. I gave Cindy a kitten playpen this morning cause this girl will need to be in it when not supervised. Thank you to Cindy for providing quarantine foster space.

Taylor really needs a furever home or a new foster. She’s having to stay in a room away from other cats at her foster because she dislikes other cats now. She will walk around smacking them for no reason. Please help us get her into a home. She’s a young adult rescued off the streets several months ago with her five babies. Her babies have been adopted. Taylor was an excellent mama and it is time for her to be happy as a single kitty.

Hey y’all. Patty (formerly known as Petey) is still adoptable. She is a shy girl looking for a cat savvy loving adopter. We had approved adopter but they aren’t ready right now to add another. Patty enjoys the company of other cats more than she enjoys people. She was rescued from under a truck she had hitched a ride from the local Mission to Hoskins Rd in Burlington Nc. She was only about 4 weeks old then. She’s now fully vetted and ready for her next adventure. Apply to adopt via www.sparklecatrescue.org

Another sweet Sparkle kitty pending adoption. As soon as she’s spayed (in about a month), Penny will be on her way to her new home and a new cat friend. Penny was one of 20+ cats rescued in Burlington NC in the past month. She’s the sweetest kitty foster mom Rachel says she’s ever had. We are so glad we could make her future brighter!

Penelope had a meet n greet over the weekend and is now pending adoption as soon as she’s spayed. Her mama can’t wait to take her home! She was rescued with 20+ other cats from a property in Burlington NC.

Remy (cream) and Alice (orange) are still hanging out at the clinic. They need a cat savvy adopter with a calm home. They were rescued from a large colony in Burlington Nc. They are fully vetted now. Alice let me hold her today. They are really getting better with people every single day that passes and they get attention. They are really bonded and right now we think it’s best they stay together. Apply to adopt via www.sparklecatrescue.org
