WANT TO BE KING OR QUEEN OF FANTASY FEST?

Applications Now Available Through The Spca

The Florida Keys SPCA is now officially taking applications for the Royal King & Queen Campaign of Fantasy Fest.

Camper is an 11-month-old male domestic shorthair. He has it all and wants to share it. He’s good with other cats, dogs and children.

Fishy is a 2-year-old male medium mixed breed. He loves to snuggle nearly as much as he loves to play.

After 34 years of the royal candidates raising money for AH Monroe, that organization has passed the torch, so the six-week fundraising campaign will now benefit the Florida Keys SPCA, which stands ready to continue making a huge difference in the lives of homeless animals and our community’s pets.

The King & Queen campaign this year will be known as a “Fun & Furious” event.

Anyone interested in raising money and being the next Fantasy Fest King or Queen — and the first for the Florida Keys SPCA — can get a candidate application at the SPCA’s Key West campus, 5711 College Road. You can also download it at fkspca.org or email Tiffany@ fkspca.org for an application.

Stay tuned for announcements about preliminary meetings with other potential candidates and learn about what the Florida Keys SPCA is planning for the inaugural kickoff event.

Email tiffany@fkspca.org with any questions.
