😸 It’s like funny cat videos on steroids!
Save Our Cats and Kittens (SOCKS) and Suds N Cinema have teamed up for the fourth year running to present CatVideoFest 2026!
📽️ Dubbed the world’s #1 cat video festival, the 77-minute reel features the latest and best comical cat videos.
Nov. 7 - Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and show starts at 5:30 p.m.
Tickets are $10 for adults, and $7 for ages 12 and younger.
➡ Link to buy tickets in comments. 🎟️
So instead of giggling by yourself, join others for a laugh-out-loud experience at the historic Suds-N-Cinema.
The downtown Fort Walton Beach theater has all the classic treats, from popcorn to candy, plus pizza, b**r, and w**e.
Feline outfits are encouraged, and/or you can have your face painted to look like a cat.
Proceeds benefit SOCKS, a nonprofit, no-kill, free-roaming cat shelter in Fort Walton Beach.

It’s “National Treat Your Pet Day!” Give your furry babies something special today!
Here at SOCKS, we just need basics — pate for the kittens. All we have is shredded/chunky, which is not for kittens. We would be very grateful for any donations!
Our address is 498 Carmel Drive, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32547

A pallet of litter is a beautiful thing. TWO pallets? That's a whole lot of happy cats!

A HUGE thank-you to Dr. Elsey's for donating an incredible amount of litter to SOCKS.

🐾 49 bags of 40-pound Dr. Elsey’s Ultra Unscented litter for use at the shelter.

🐾 90 bags of 20-pound Dr. Elsey’s Cat Attract litter to send home with adopters.

There was just one little logistical challenge. We needed a loading dock and forklift to receive this massive donation. Enter our wonderful neighbors at Lowe's Home Improvement in Fort Walton Beach. They stepped up to receive the delivery and made it possible.

The litter will make its way down the street to SOCKS tomorrow!

Thank you, Dr. Elsey’s, for this generous donation, and thank you, Lowe's in Fort Walton Beach for being such a great neighbor. It takes a community to keep a shelter running, and we are lucky to have you in ours! ❤️🐈
