My personality

My story

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

This orange dude originally came from a feral colony with his mom, aunt, and 2 siblings and is the most playful of the whole crew!

He is still pretty timid around people but can be drawn out with different toys! He’s a big fan of ribbon toys and will chase them around for hours, slowly warming up to whoever is holding the toy. Like most orange cats, he can be an absolute clutz when he’s running around, having zoomies and he’s just as likely to go sliding across the floor (before getting up and acting like it never happened, of course) as he is to actually reach where he’s trying to get too.

As Sparkles gets older, he’s getting more confident, and while we don’t know that he’ll ever be a super cuddly cat, he is absolutely going to be a blast to have around, always up for some play time.

He is currently in our cat room with his brother, Tiny, and while we would love to see them go into a home together, we do think they would be okay to split up as long as the home they’re going into has other cat friends for them to be with.

Sparkles is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations and is microchipped, so he’s all set to go into his forever home! If you think that’s your home, please reach out and fill out an adoption application for him 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.
