Who we are.
We are students, neighbors, and animal lovers who decided that noticing wasn't enough — so we organized. Flame of New Hearts (新心之火, aka Sparkleheart) is a community-based stray animal rescue and education organization.

Why we started
It began with the strays we saw every day — around campus, behind restaurants, under parked cars. Everyone felt sorry for them; no one had a system for helping them. We started Flame of New Hearts to be that system: organized, humane, and sustained.
Our mission
We rescue stray animals, promote responsible TNR, encourage adoption, and build stronger communities where people and animals can live together.
Our vision
Communities where no animal suffers unnoticed — where feeding is responsible, populations are managed humanely, adoption is the norm, and children grow up knowing how to care.
How we work
Volunteer-run and documentation-first: every rescue, surgery, and adoption is recorded. We partner with veterinarians, schools, and community managers so the work outlasts any single one of us.
