A number of adorable cats are looking for permanent homes around Merseyside this Christmas.
Many of the cats and kittens housed at Freshfields Animal Rescue have had difficult lives and would love the chance to settle down for good.
Freshfields began almost 50 years ago and is committed to looking after animals whether they be small pets, farm animals or sick wildlife.
With a policy of never putting a healthy animal down, Freshfields are looking for lovely people to adopt the cats in their care and provide a forever home. Could you make their Christmas wishes come true and make them part of your family?
The centre has also issued an urgent dog adoption appeal as they face an "adoption emergency". Freshfields say they "urgently" need forever homes for dogs in their care, ahead of new laws banning XL Bully type dogs.

3. Todd
Todd arrived at Freshfields
as an urgent case as he was abandoned in a flat with another cat with no food or water. They were left for a few days before the housing association realised they were there. Due to his traumatic experience, Todd needs a home in Liverpool with no other pets. Photo: Freshfields Animal Rescue
