Rose and Chris Rasmussen discovered Sparky on Petfinder.com last year and decided to adopt him. The couple traveled from their suburban London home to the Clare County Animal Shelter in Harrison, where the kitten was an unofficial mascot.

After paperwork, quarantine and other final checks, the Rasmussens were to take Sparky to his new home.

Sparky likes to explore and twice destroyed Christmas trees during his roughly nine-month stay at the shelter. Yup, he's a tuxedo cat.
