Sparkle is your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet of The Week

Don't touch her tail.

Sparkle is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 3-1/2 year old, 7 pound, female, Domestic Short Hair cat with a White and Brown Tabby coat.

Look for Sparkle in the “Kitty Sweet,” a room designed for cats who need a little more attention.

She doesn’t want you to touch her tail. Because of that, she might do best in a home with experienced cat owners and older, respectful children.

She was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through the Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS) program.
