Each KITTEN in our program incurs $165 (male) to $185 (female) in standard vet care. This includes: combo (snap) test, set of 3 kitten boosters, rabies vaccination (at 4 months old), spay/neuter, pain meds for females after spay, and microchip.

Without regular donations and with continued unexpected vet expenses for cats currently in our program (over 100), we have to limit the rescue of homeless cats in the community. Your donations do make a difference in the lives of the 'forgotten felines' in our community.
Sparkle Cat Rescue is an all volunteer 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization and your donations are tax deductible.
In 2017, our vet expenses were ~ $48,000.00!
Since our incorporation on November 6, 2014, our organization has rescued 501 cats and kittens that were once 'forgotten felines': abandoned, abused, homeless, injured, neglected. They have been provided much needed vet care and sent to wonderful foster homes preparing for their forever home.
This is all thanks to our wonderful supporters and donors.
