Public Outreach- Our Public Outreach Program is to educate and inform the members of the community about For the Love of Cats and the issues and complications that community cat overpopulation can present throughout Collier County. Our Outreach Program includes Farmers Markets, Tabling Events, In-store Events and other public promotional platforms that allow us to speak directly to the public about the county ordinances, policies and actions surrounding community cat management as well as educating the public about our programs and solutions we have available to the community.Our Community Cat care program distributed 6,100 pounds of food to feed community cats who have no other reliable source of nourishment. For many of these cats, this support is not supplemental, it is essential to their survival.Our Senior for Seniors program placed 6 cats over 7 years of age with senior citizens over the age of 60 with not cost to the adopter. Having a cat increases the seniors' activities, social interaction and is beneficial to their overall health.
