About Sparkly Girl

Sparkly Girl spent ten years in the same home before her family gave her up—a tough change for any cat.

Sparkly Girl has this endearing habit of carrying her tail over her back, which makes her stand out. Her vaccines are all current, her bloodwork looks great, and she's ready for a new chapter. She has quirks—she calls the shots on human relationships and shows her spicy side from time to time. Sparkly Girl isn’t for everyone, but for the right adopter who respects her opinions and boundaries, she’s a rewarding companion.
