Stay and Play in May

For the Love of Cats, a non-profit rescue organization committed to saving the lives of cats and kittens in Collier County, is hosting its first annual ‘Purrs and Paddles’ Pickleball Tournament on May 17th and 18th at East Naples Community Park. The tournament will be professionally managed by the USOP National Pickleball Center.

This weekend-long community event will feature food trucks, bubble bar, a health/wellness and shopping vendor village, 50/50 raffles, chance raffle baskets, and great DJ music.

For the Love of Cats welcomes all player levels to enter the tournament. All proceeds help save the lives of cats and kittens in need.

“We are so excited for our upcoming tournament,” says Jan Rich, Founder of For the Love of Cats. “With the help from USOP National Pickleball Center, our tournament will be one you won’t want to miss. This super fundraising weekend will allow us to continue helping more underserved families with their cats in need and increase our resources for our TNR (trap, neuter, return) program. We invite everyone to come to play, watch, eat, drink and donate!”
