Liz Acosta
Liz is a pink-haired feminist with lots of good stories to tell. Originally from Los Angeles, Liz dabbled in the entertainment industry, freelance photography, dog-sitting, and fashion before finally throwing everything in her car and moving to San Francisco, where she is now the Social Media Manager for Dogster and Catster.
She rides her pink bike around the city pretending she's in the Death Star trench scene from Star Wars and she is almost exclusively powered by coffee.
Liz is responsible for bringing the story of Mercury, the kitten whose front legs were amputated after a weed-whacker accident, to the Internet's spotlight. Mercury's amazing story of resilience received attention from Huffington Post, Jezebel, and Laughing Squid. Liz was among the first to break a series of dramatic photos of a man savings his cat during the June 2013 floods in Alberta, Canada, as well as a story about a Redditor rescuing a sickly kitten in Hawaii and then bringing her home to the continental United States.
Liz researches and writes a weekly column called the Monday Miracle, highlighting inspirational stories about cats who've overcome tremendous adversity. She also curates the Catster Facebook page, hangs out on the Catster Twitter, and updates Catster's Tumblr and Pinterest.
