The Javea Feral Cat Association (JFCA) is gearing up for its highly anticipated Charity Padel Tournament and Gala Weekend(14 -15 September). This annual event, held at the Club de Padel in Javea, has become a cornerstone of the community’s efforts to support the local feral cat population through the association’s Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program.
The event promises a weekend filled with excitement, competition, and community spirit. Padel enthusiasts from all over are invited to participate in the tournament, which will see 96 players competing for the top spot. The tournament is not just about the sport; it’s a celebration of community involvement and support for a noble cause.
In addition to the padel matches, the gala weekend will feature a variety of entertainment options. Attendees can look forward to live music performances, a luxury raffle with fantastic prizes, and a selection of delicious food and beverages. The raffle is particularly popular, offering prizes such as a weekend getaway, luxury hampers, and vouchers from local businesses.
Julie Keene, Vice President of JFCA, expressed her gratitude to the local community, volunteers, and businesses for their unwavering support. Last year’s event raised a significant amount of funds, which were used for neutering and veterinary care for the feral cats. This year, the association hopes to surpass previous fundraising efforts, ensuring that more cats can be cared for and rehomed.
The JFCA’s mission is to improve the lives of Javea’s feral cats through their TNR program. By neutering and returning cats to their colonies, the association helps control the population and improve the health and well-being of these animals. Events like the Charity Padel & Gala are crucial in raising the necessary funds to continue this important work.
Whether you’re a padel player, a cat lover, or simply looking for a fun weekend activity, the Javea Feral Cat Association’s Charity Padel & Gala is an event not to be missed. Join the community in supporting a great cause and enjoy a weekend of sport, entertainment, and camaraderie.
