We Need Your Help

For the Love of Cats, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is dedicated to saving the lives of abandoned cats and kittens in the community of Southern Collier County, Florida. We are an animal welfare group operating through the generous donations of the public since 2002. 

​

Our mission is to end the cruelty of pet over-population. Our programs include working with the community to sterilize stray, community and feral cats through TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), assisting the low-income public in need with low cost spay/neuter, wellness and emergency veterinary care along with other support programs to help people to keep their pets.

 

Our vision is a world where all cats' lives matter.

Volunteer Spotlight

Sue Christopher

Sue loves volunteering with For the Love of Cats. It has been a stark change of pace since her retirement a few years ago. In her prior life, Sue was a certified public accountant and a principal of a top 10 CPA firm. Sue concentrated her practice on the construction industry, helping clients navigate the tax code and comply with banking and bonding requirements. Now, instead of being part of a team to help clients succeed and staff grow, she is part of a team that saves lives. Now, that is truly impactful!

 

In addition to volunteer work, Sue loves to spend quality time with family and friends.  Included in her family are two rescued kitties – Serena and Magic. Sue loves to spend time outdoors – hiking in the Everglades, in the ten thousand islands on a kayak, or in the Keys on a stand-up paddleboard or boating.

 

When not in the Keys, you can see Sue at the Farmer’s Market on Wednesdays, helping to spread the word about For the Love of Cats's impact on the community. She also makes sure the kittens are not cold or lonely. Cuddling kittens is one of her special skills.
