My personality

My story

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

Sparkles is definitely the spunkiest of the three siblings and isn’t afraid to let someone know when he doesn’t want something, usually by hissing and trying to run away. However, once you catch him and he realized that he is getting pet, he usually settles down, unless you happen to make eye contact with him, then he hisses again to let you know that he’s only letting this happen but he’s not thrilled about it.
He is however, thrilled to play with and chase toys around the room, so that’s how we’ve been trying to win him over, balancing the cuddling time with the playtime and he’s already come a long way from the scared hissy baby he was when he came to us a few weeks ago.
He and his siblings had been caught with his mom and aunt, outside an empty house where they had been all alone. Because of this, they’re going to need a family who’s willing to give them a chance to warm up to them, but is also going to be insistent on spending time with them and not letting the kittens hide from them.
We think Sparkles and his brothers are about 3 months old, so they aren’t quite ready to go home just yet, but they will be as soon as they’re neutered. We’re hoping that by mid-october they’ll be ready to go to their forever homes and would love to have those homes lined up beforehand. We would love for the brothers to be adopted together, but if that’s not possible, we are looking to place them in homes with other cats.
Sparkles and his siblings will be neutered, microchipped, and up to date on their vaccinations by the time they’re ready to go home, so if you want to be considered to be their forever home, the time to apply is now! We don’t have any set adoption fees, but do ask that a donation be made at the time of adoption, and for Sparkles we are asking for a donation of $250. You can find the application on our website, waywardranch.org, or let us know if you have any questions!

More about this rescue

Our Mission: To provide a quality life to the animals that need it most.

Wayward Ranch Animal Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501c3, tax exempt non-profit organization and all donations to our sanctuary are tax deductible.

The Dream:

Wayward Ranch was founded by three friends who, after working for other rescues for a long time, realized there was something missing from the average rescue model. No animal is perfect, and in the typical shelter system any behavioral concerns an animal had coming in are just exacerbated the longer they are kenneled or caged waiting for a home.

Many local shelters have taken to shipping puppies up from the south because they are more “adoptable” than the shelter animals we have here. However, this just floods are market and takes homes and resources from our local animals who are suffering as a result.

We are committed to a different type of rescue experience. We are a unique combination of adoption and sanctuary facility, taking the pressure of euthanasia away from animals who may not be generically adoptable. We also help our animals thrive, rather than deteriorate, as they wait for forever homes using a combination of enrichment and training techniques.
