Story
Tinsel is a beautiful young torbie (a mix of tabby and tortie) with lovely orange patches woven into her coat. She’s estimated to be 10–12 months old, which we think is one of the best ages—still playful and fun, but more mellow and easygoing than a tiny kitten, with her personality already fully developed.   Tinsel is extremely friendly, outgoing, and affectionate. She enjoys playing with wand toys, loves lickable treats, and will happily beg you for pets and attention. She’s social, confident, and very people-oriented.   She hasn’t had much experience with other pets yet, but based on her easygoing and friendly personality, she would likely do well with proper introductions. Tinsel would also be a great fit for a home with children, as she’s gentle, social, and enjoys attention.   Tinsel is ready to find a loving home where she can continue to thrive and be cherished. If interested in adoption please fill out an application through our website or contact her foster for more info.

Story
Adopt Gus & Jaq! These bonded brothers have been through a lot in their short lives, and they’re still two of the sweetest, most loving kittens you’ll ever meet. Gus & Jaq were born with a condition called eyelid agenesis, which means their eyelids didn’t fully develop. Without treatment, every blink could cause pain. Last month, they had a procedure called cryoepilation to freeze the hairs that were irritating their eyes, and they’re healing beautifully. Because of their condition, they’ll need eye drops 2–3 times a day long term. The drops are over-the-counter, easy to give, and they’re total pros about it. Jaq had a more severe case, so he’ll likely need to see the eye doctor once or twice a year just to make sure everything stays healthy. We know most people will scroll past a post about two “special needs” kittens. But what these boys need is simple to manage. What they give back is so much more. They are truly extraordinary. Raised by humans since they were tiny bottle babies, they’re affectionate, playful, and endlessly trusting. They greet every visitor like a long-lost friend, climb into laps without hesitation, and purr like little engines. Gus is the ultimate snuggler. Jaq is the playful goofball who keeps everyone laughing. They also love other cats and dogs, too! If you give them a chance, they’ll bring you so much love. They are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, flea-treated, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. The adoption fee is $150 for the pair. Email liberationcathouse@gmail.com for more info.

Story
Delphi and Nyx are still searching for their forever home. These sisters have been through a lot in their short 2 years of life and they are very bonded. Delphi is very outgoing and friendly. She loves to chase foil balls around and is always down for a good brushing. Nyx is a little more shy but also likes getting brushed and physical affection. Both of them have vision impairment but it doesn't slow them down! Nyx's favorite hang out spot is the very top of her 6ft cat tree. Nyx's right eye is mostly covered by scar tissue but she still has limited vision in the top 1/3 of the pupil. They had severe eye infections as tiny kittens which lead to the scaring you see in their eyes now. The condition is not painful and shouldn't cause issues in the future. Delphi is on a prescription gastrointestinal diet to address constipation and occasionally takes miralax (in a pile of churu). They are looking for a quiet home where they can lounge with their human, get snackies, and be co-regents of their castle.

Story
Please meet sweet and lovely Olivia! This beautiful and super-loving young lady is waiting for her best forever family. Olivia has had a very heartbreaking start in life, as most rescues have. I rescued Olivia from a neighborhood where she was left behind unfixed, having litters of kittens outside. I found a post with someone giving away kittens, which I also rescued, and found this sweet mom. Olivia was left in the streets with a broken leg and a huge tumor that had grown from being infected. I scooped her up right away, and was fortunate enough to have surgery to stop her pain and suffering 3 days later. Miss Olivia was already so grateful when she was brought home. She felt so much better and is so happy! Her leg did have to be amputated, but that is no issue; it doesn't affect her a bit. I try to get really good pictures, but she won't stay still long enough; she wants pets, lol! Olivia is a love bug and will give you the biggest butt hikes when you pet her. She just wants love and to be next to you to watch movies. Please don't miss out on this beautiful, sweet, and happy girl! She is so happy to be in a home, safe, warm, and not suffering anymore. She is ready for that forever she's been waiting for! We are located in Deltona. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to text me (Jodi) at 407-404-8085. I have included our QR code for her adoption application. If you would love to make her your own, please fill that out for us. Thank you for reading about my Olivia!
