NONPROFIT ANIMAL CLINIC REMOVES FOX’S ‘TROUBLE PUFFS’

A GREEN DAY: GET YOUR IRISH ON AT UPCOMING KEY LARGO FESTIVAL

Hi friends! Reef the fox here with your weekly “Reef’s Report.” Well, the day finally came. Little Kai fox had his trouble puffs removed.

For anyone not familiar with the term “trouble puffs,” that is mom’s slang for his boy parts. Once again, our friends at Whiskers and Paws Forever of Monroe County performed a surgery free of charge for us. Yep, you read that right, they donated Kai’s neuter to Pawsitive Beginnings. How amazing is that?

Whiskers and Paws mission is to support our community. They are a not-for-profit organization that proactively addresses the feral-cat overpopulation in the Upper Keys. Their volunteers have been rescuing feral cats for 20 years. They recently moved locations and are now in a brand new surgical suite at the Upper Keys Humane Society. They will spay, neuter, vaccinate and ear-tip any community cat that is trapped and brought to their clinic.

I think they are heroes. But they won’t be taking any parts from me. My trouble puffs have been gone since 2021. If you’re looking to volunteer or if you have community cats that need spay or neuter services, you can visit their website at whiskersandpawsforever.com.

Get ready to party because this Saturday, March 11, at the Caribbean Club, the Upper Keys Irish Festival kicks off at 11 a.m. Get ready for the biggest and best Saint Patrick’s Party in the Upper Keys. It will be a day filled with live music, a parade, green beer, Irish whiskey, food, Irish dancers, vendors and more. This fundraiser will benefit T.I.P.S. and their work
