    Event Description:

    Save Our Cats and Kittens (SOCKS) is putting a cat-tastic twist on the legendary Run for the Roses!

    The nonprofit feline shelter is hosting “The Kittucky Derby” from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 26, at their event building, a.k.a. “Catnip Downs.”

    The family-friendly event includes games such as horseshoes and cornhole; a contest for the most flamboyant derby hat; a silent auction with top-notch prizes, such as a VIP local distillery tour; bourbon punch and mint julep drinks in the Feline Lucky Lounge; delicious hors d’oeuvres including pimento cheese, of course; and the stars of the show, kittens “racing” to a feline photo finish.

    Tickets are $25 and can be purchased on the SOCKS website, www.saveourcatsandkittens.com, or at https://events.humanitix.com/the-kittucky-derby/tickets?  


    To become a sponsor or donate silent auction items, call (850) 865-6866 or email socks@saveourcatsandkittens.com.

    SOCKS is a no-kill, free-roaming, feline-only cat shelter funded by donations. Event proceeds will provide food, shelter and medical care for cats and kittens waiting for their forever homes.
