“It’s an honor to be chosen by Winn-Dixie and to share our recent rescue work at our events during National Pet Month.” said Heather Hubbard, Creative Content Specialist at For the Love of Cats. “When we have these fun events, we are able to share stories about rescued cats and kittens throughout Collier County. The continued support of our community and local businesses allows us to answer the call of every cat that crosses our path. With rising costs in pet food and other essentials, it’s clear that our organization stands out as a pillar for cats in our communities more than ever. Steve, the store manager, is our biggest fan and we are so grateful to him for his wonderful support!”
