It all started with a orphaned kitten named Olivia Queen, lovingly called Livy, who stole my heart and changed the lives of many furever.
Saving Livy Cat Rescue was born from one kitten's journey and the belief that every cat deserves a chance to be safe, healthy, and loved. Today, Livy is still the heart behind our mission, inspiring us to rescue, recover, rehab, and rehome cats and kittens in need throughout Deltona.
Along the way, I built a compassionate community of fosters, adopters, volunteers, donors, and supporters known as The Kitty Village—because it truly takes a village to save lives.
Now, we're paying it forward—one life at a time. Join us in making a difference, because every cat deserves a Livy Ever After and every pawprint counts.
Our Mission
At Saving Livy Cat Rescue, our mission is simple:
rescue . recover . rehab . rehome. repeat.
As a foster-based, volunteer-driven nonprofit, we are dedicated to rescuing vulnerable cats and kittens, providing lifesaving veterinary care, supporting community cats through full-circle Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), and finding loving furever homes through adoption.
From orphaned neonates and medical cases to community cats in need of TNR services, we are committed to giving every feline a chance to be safe, healthy, and loved. Together with The Kitty Village, we are creating more Livy Ever Afters—one life at a time.
What does rescue . recover . rehab . rehome. repeat. mean to the team at Saving Livy Cat Rescue?
🐾 Rescue: Provide immediate safety, protection, and intervention for vulnerable cats and kittens in need.
🐾 Recover: Deliver lifesaving veterinary care, treatment, and support to help cats heal and thrive.
🐾 Rehab: Foster, socialize, and rehabilitate cats and kittens physically, emotionally, and behaviorally.
🐾 Rehome: Find loving, carefully matched furever homes through responsible adoption.
🐾 Repeat: Continue the lifesaving cycle by helping the next cat in need while reducing feline overpopulation through full-circle TNR services throughout Deltona.
Our Impact
🐾 2,000+ cats and kittens helped
🐾 1,810+ adoption placements

🐾 hundreds of medical and neonatal cases cared for
🐾 one community committed to making a difference
Behind every number is a life changed.
Our Programs
Saving Livy Cat Rescue focuses on three core programs that work together to improve the lives of cats and kittens throughout Deltona.
🐾 Foster Care: Providing temporary, loving homes for orphaned kittens, nursing mothers, medical cases, and cats awaiting adoption.
🐾 Full-Circle TNR: Humanely reducing feline overpopulation through trapping, sterilization, vaccination, recovery, and return while supporting community cat colonies throughout Deltona.
🐾 Adoption Placement: Connecting cats and kittens with carefully matched families and helping them find loving furever homes.
Foster Care
Since we do not operate a shelter, every cat and kitten in our care relies on foster parents to provide a safe, loving environment while they prepare for their next chapter.
Our foster care program supports orphaned neonates, nursing mothers, growing kittens, medical and special-needs cases, and friendly adult cats in need of temporary care.
Fostering is one of the most rewarding ways to save lives.
No experience? No problem! We provide training, mentorship, supplies, veterinary care, and ongoing support to help set both you and your future foster kitties up for success.
Full-Circle TNR
🐾 Trap: Humanely and safely trap all cats within a colony—a group of community cats living together outdoors.
🐾 Neuter (or Spay): Transport trapped cats to a veterinary clinic for spay or neuter surgery, rabies and FVRCP vaccinations, and ear-tipping—the universally recognized sign that a community cat has been sterilized and vaccinated.
🐾 Return: After recovery, cats are returned to their original outdoor home where they are cared for by colony caregivers and can continue living healthy lives. By preventing unwanted litters before they are born, TNR helps reduce suffering, improve colony health, and decrease feline overpopulation within the community.
Adoption Placement
Every cat deserves a loving family, and every family deserves the opportunity to find their purrfect match.
Through our adoption placement program, we carefully match cats and kittens with adopters based on personality, lifestyle, and household dynamics to help create successful, lifelong bonds.
Whether you're looking for a playful kitten, a bonded pair, a special-needs companion, or a laid-back adult cat, our goal is to help you write your very own Livy Ever After.
Check out our available cats and kittens below. When you're ready to welcome a new furry family member into your home, complete an adoption application and background check to get started.
TNR Rentals
No products for trapping are available for purchase.
Traps for TNR are available to rent with a $75 deposit, which will only be charged if the trap is not returned upon request or is damaged when brought back to Saving Livy.
Essential supplies for trapping include newspapers or pee pads to line the trap, enticing food (such as fried chicken, sardines in oil, tuna, or mackerel) to attract the cats, and old sheets, towels, or blankets to cover the trap once a feral cat is inside, preparing for surgery.
