CAROLINE STREET KITTIES NEED URGENT HELP!
THESE BEAUTIFUL KEY WEST CATS NEED TO BE SAVED!
[SEE UPDATE IN COMMENTS BELOW]
“For over 10 years, a fractured stray colony of 30 plus cats has been tended to by Key West locals on Caroline Street. Local waitresses, bar managers, renters, neighbors, store owners, and Key West cat lovers have been leaving food and water for this incredibly affectionate and docile colony of cats. The cats live in the middle of a small dirty courtyard where bars and liquor stores back up together. They come out from under the structure of the stores, look over the roof easements at you, and peak around from behind building items as you shake a container of food for them. Although they are skittish at first, they soon are bumping against your legs and purring for affection. Efforts have been made in the last 2 months to socialize the cats more on a daily basis so that a wonderful organization called SNIP, Inc "Spay/Neuter in Paradise" can continue spaying and neutering the colony. Gwen and Valerie of SNIP, Inc. have been capturing and releasing cats of this colony for 6 years....successfully fixing 27 of these precious babies. Until recently, the goal was to spay and neuter all the cats in the colony and allow good souled citizens to continue giving these cats love, food, water, and protection. Now the goal is to ensure these cats survive.
Things have changed in recent weeks and people who have invested themselves in these cats started to notice missing water bowls, piles of food removed, and new construction in the courtyard. New ownership has arrived at one of the bars and those who watch over these cats have been told every single cat must go. We have been promised by the new owner that no animal will be harmed, but they demand removal immediately.
These cats are not feral and have the potential to become cuddly indoor companions with the patience and love of willing cat-lovers.
Our local shelter, Florida Keys SPCA, has agreed to come trap and place the cats in a special room to e

Meteor Spotted Lower Florida Keys
MCSO's Becky Herrin shares some really cool video of a meteor, captured by Sgt. Evan Calhoun’s dashcam video last night just before 11 p.m. while he was working in the Lower Keys, on Big Pine Key. [You will see it appear from the upper left hand top portion of the video as it breaks up in the atmosphere.] How cool!
KEY WEST, Florida (October 5, 2016) Nine ships from the Royal Bahamas Defence Force, research vessel Walton Smith and a contract vessel take shelter at Naval Air Station Key West's Mole Pier Oct. 5 as Hurricane Matthew approaches Florida. NAS Key West is not currently projected to be in Matthew's path and as such, stands by to support other services and relief efforts. NAS Key West is a state-of-the-art facility for air-to-air combat fighter aircraft of all military services and provides world-class pierside support to U.S. and foreign naval vessels.
