This sort of snuck up on me — I didn’t even realize that yesterday was my 1000th post until I got up and hopped on the computer (literally)! For such a big milestone, you’d think my human would have planned some sort of fabulous bash for all us kitties, but she’s got nothing! Can you believe it? Somebody is just asking for her pay to be docked.
If you want to see my very first post, you can click here. It is dated almost exactly nine years ago. The truth is, I don’t know the exact date I went live online — the software was so antiquated that I had to recreate the dates when I moved to WordPress. All I know was it was somewhere between November 2002 and January 2003.
As you can see, even back then, my human embarrassed me so badly I wanted to hide! But all is not lost! I have decided to have an unofficial drawing — just tell me in your comments which is your favorite cat rescue. At 11:59 PM tonight, November 8, my human will go to random.org and pick a number, and she will donate $25 to the winner’s rescue! The only qualification for the rescue is that they have a donate link. That’s it!
What a great idea!
The Humane Society of Allen County – Lima O Hi O!
Wow! A thousand posts is awesome! Congratulations, Sparkle!
One of our favorite rescues is here in Montreal, it’s Gerdy’s Rescues. We found Bella there!
Congratulations, Sparkle! 1000 posts is awesome!! If we won the $25, we would want it to go to Chrystal for all the wonderful rescuing she does.
1000 posts – that is amazing and made mum turn very pale at the thought of all that typing and photos!!
If we won we would like you to send the donation to Chrystal to help her wonderful cause.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
OMC – that is amazing…..
We would like to keep it local with SOS of Ohio for their feral fix program.
First of all congrats on 1000 posts! Awesome.
We would like to suggest Chyrstal (a private animal rescuer in south Illinois, USA) benefit # so that she can help Winnie’s Wish come true. She does have a chip in pin:

Congrats on your 1000 posts. We love that picture of you when you were just a baby. We would like to donate the $25.00 to Brother Wolf Animal Rescue in Ashville, N.C. http://bwar.org Thanks so much for doing this. Great idea.
1000 posts and nine years? Wow! Concatulations, Sparkle!
We would suggest Marg at Marg’s Pets, even though she’s not an official rescue. But she certainly has a wonderful heart–a bigger heart than budget, and we know she could use the extra funds.
Sparkle, you were adorable and are still exceptionally handsome. If I were to win, I would want you to choose the rescue. We don’t have any cat exclusive rescues here.
You have certainly come far – now YOU rule your household, Miss S. 🙂
Wow, 1000 posts is a true milestone. We’d love to see more Sparkle baby pics. Our rescue of choice would be Cat Assistance NY where half our team is from.
Wowwie Zowwie!
1000!
Sparkle, yous rocks.
Kisses
Nellie
Well Sparkle since we goats are not too smart about rescues we will have to go with the only one we really know and that is Cats Exclusive ’cause we read Daisy’s blog. If that is not a good pick and we win YOU can pick a good one for us.
Conga Rats on your 1,000th post that is an amazing accomplishment.
Concats on your 1000th post.
Would you know of any rescues that could really use the help of $25.00?
9 YEARS? That’s a long time! Congrats on 1000 posts!

I’d like to nominate Winging Cat Rescue.
Congratulations! That’s a fantastic milestone!
Our rescue of choice would be our friend Robin Olson’s Kitten Associates.

Congratulations on 1000 posts Sparkle! That’s a lot of posts! Since you’ve been posting every day we bet you reach the next 1000 much faster than 9 years! Anyway, if we win, we’d like to suggest Tabby’s Place.
Congrats on your 1000th postings. I would like to suggest JFF, she isn’t a rescue place but I am thinking that all of her furries were rescued by her and now have a furever home. Many of our blogging friends have done so and we thank all of them.
Concatulations!! i cannot even begin to imagine blogging that long!!
I have MANY favorite rescues but for now I would have to say Carol’s Ferals!
We’ll nominate milossanctuary.org because they take care of kitties who are not “purrfect.”
CONCATS on your 1000th post! And coincidentally, my 500th is this Thursday unless the Human manages to screw it up somehow–and she totally could, you know!
Maybe we should co-host a pawty together soon to celebrate???
Concatulations on the 1000th post beautiful Somali girl!
My favorite is Marg at Marg’s Pets also. She cares for those babies she gets.
Concats Sparkle and Family! What a huge accomplishment! We love reading your posts!
yow! Concats, Sparkle! 1000 posts is quite the milestone!
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, Hollie
Happy 1000th post, Sparkle! You were such a cute and leggy kitten!
My rescue is the Humane Society of Tacoma & Pierce County.
Happy happy blogoversary, Sparkle. 1000 is a very big number! Wishing you 1000 more! XXX
1000 posts? That’s pawsome. Concats!!! You are looking very regal there.
Sparkle, what a cutie pie kitten you were. Seeing that picture just made my day!
Wow, congrats on that! That is excellent! We had no idea you had been blogging so long. That is an accomplishment for sure. And we haven’t seen your kitten pictures before Sparkle…so sweet!
We are so sorry we missed this post, dear Sparkle! Concatulations on 1000 posts. Here’s to 1000 more, and beyond! 🙂
