Casting For Cats started in 2001, a ladies, one-day backcountry fishing tournament to raise money to help feral cats here in the Upper Keys. What started out as a fun day of fishing has now become out major fund raiser to help so many needy animals. We are a 501(c)(3) charity recognized by the State of Florida. The tournament is held the third weekend in October every year. This will be our 11th year, and as always, all proceeds go totally to the animals.

We are so proud to now be partners with the Caring for Cats clinic and the Upper Keys Veterinary Hospital. In January of 2011, Casting for Cats was able to purchase for the clinic a new top-of-the-line X-ray machine and thousands of dollars worth of cages. It is because of the support of the community and so may giving people this was able to happen. Casting for Cats has paid for all the spay and neuter clinics for the past 2 years. In the 9 years since the clinic opened, thousands of cats and dogs have been treated. We are so happy to say that several hundred have found good and loving homes.
