Sparkle Cat Rescue is an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501c3 with zero paid employees (even the Executive Director/Co-Founder). 

Our mission is saving those forgotten felines: abandoned, injured, neglected, and those denied intake at or “at risk” at local shelters. These types of rescues are resource intensive: we often need long-term to forever fosters and significant financial contributions to cover long-term care & medical expenses.

Many of the cats we take in are turned away by our shelter (sometimes deemed 'feral' or unadoptable). We focus on 'street cats' that no one is feeding or taking care of. We provide them much needed vet care: spay/neuter, vaccinations, emergency vet care, and foster them until they are adopted.

We have rescued a number of FIV+ cats and special needs cats   We also are working with our community to provide supplies if we can't take in kittens that need bottle feeding - asking our supporters to donate those supplies. 

We advocate for TNR/spay-neuter and work with local trappers who do TNR.  When we receive food our fosters don't eat, we donate to our local trappers for their ferals.   Our rescue also has successfully treated 9 FIP cats since 2019.

We do not currently have any grants to help the cats we rescue.

We rely solely on our donor support to save and help cats.

"There is no greater way to reduce pet over-population and suffering. Spay and neuter is the number one thing you can do for your pet's health and the well-being of those around your pet. Spaying and neutering reduces, if not completely eliminates, the chance of testicular and ovarian cancers in animals. It reduces or eliminates behavioral problems including, but not limited to, aggression, marking behaviors and going "into heat." Not only are the health and wellness benefits great, the cost alone is enough to convince you. A litter of four costs well over $2,000 once all care and maintenance is said and done. Sadly, most puppies and kittens of accidental pregnancies do not get care because of cost, so they end up sick or homeless (or both). In 2011, we helped over 200 families to spay and neuter their pets.

 "FCAP holds a free Spay/Neuter Clinic (a.k.a. "Spay Day") one Sunday morning a month for feral/stray cats and kittens. The primary purpose of the Spay/Neuter Clinic is to safely, efficiently and expeditiously sterilize feral cats while complying with the laws of the state of North Carolina regarding rabies vaccination of animals.
