My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Did you know that 96 million people in the US say they like birdwatching? And in a survey of cats, it was even higher!!!
I’m Sparrow. It’s weird, right? A cat named after a bird? There’s no real story behind my name…I’ve been here at APR since I was a little kitten, almost 7 years ago when I came in with my mom and siblings. But you know? I admire sparrows! They are free spirits, and so am I. They hang out in flocks, and I don’t mind if there are other cats around. They like to perch up high, just like me! One thing I don’t get about sparrows though? Eating seeds. Blech. My mom and all the others in my litter have been adopted, so now it’s my turn to fly. Apply to adopt me at www.AbandonedPetRescue.orgTo meet this adoptable pet, please fill out an adoption application at www.abandonedpetrescue.org and a team member will contact you to schedule an appointment.

More about this shelter

Abandoned Pet Rescue (APR) is one of the largest no-kill animal shelters in South Florida with the mission of rescuing and sheltering abandoned and abused cats and dogs with the goal of finding them new homes. APR's adoption center has about 150 cats and 30 dogs, all of which receive nutritious meals, veterinary care, enrichment and love.

APR, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was founded in 1996 by a group of volunteers who were trapping, spaying and neutering feral cats and quickly realized the greater need to help abandoned pets and advocate for a no-kill community. APR is funded solely by generous donors and grants.
