Hello SWFL!

Welcome back to The Squeeze! This week's newsletter looks a little different. I skipped the Neighborhood News and Community Announcements sections because honestly, nothing noteworthy came across my desk, and I'd rather leave it out than fill space with fluff. The one thing worth flagging: if you are not registered to vote or would like to change your party affiliation, the deadline to register for the August 18th election is this Monday, July 20th. Don't miss it! Now, let's get into it!

Yes, it's 90 degrees out. Yes, Santa is showing up anyway. From Fort Myers to Bonita Springs, local restaurants, bars, breweries and small businesses are getting into the holiday spirit six months early. Here's everywhere you can find a little Christmas magic this July, plus a first look at the holiday stage shows already booking for December.

Fort Myers

Looking for a unique and heartwarming summer activity the whole family will love? Look no further than Cattyshack Cat Cafe in Fort Myers! This one-of-a-kind cat cafe is home to adorable adoptable rescue cats, and your visit directly supports their rescue mission, covering food, litter, toys, vet care, and more. Cattyshack has a cafe menu with food and drinks for the humans too, so grab a bite, sip something yummy, and enjoy the ultimate cat play date all in one place!

Caturday Playtime Event (Ages 7 and Under) — This Saturday Only!
This Saturday, July 18 at 10:30 a.m., Cattyshack is hosting a special, limited Caturday Playtime Event designed specifically for the littles! This kid-focused session doesn't happen every day, so don't miss it! All ages are welcome, with treats and toys provided for a fun, interactive experience geared toward kiddos under 7. Reserve your group's spot at cattyshackcafe.com before it sells out!

Cat Lounge Experience (Ages 7+) — Available Every Day!
The good news? You don't have to wait for a special event to visit! The Cat Lounge Experience is offered daily and is the perfect way to unwind this summer. Spend 50 minutes relaxing with adoptable rescue cats in the cozy Mulligan Room for just $15 per person. Sessions frequently sell out, so booking ahead is strongly recommended. A few things to keep in mind: the lounge is ages 7 and up only, with 1 adult required per every 2 kids ages 7-12, and no outside food or drinks are permitted in the lounge (cafe menu items are welcome!). Visiting at 6 p.m.? That's feeding time, so expect a more active and lively session!

Cattyshack also hosts a rotating calendar of special events including trivia nights, bingo, and ‘Cattyshack After Dark’ (18+) events. Whether you're looking to adopt or just enjoy the vibes, every visit makes a difference. Visit cattyshackcafe.com to learn more about their mission and make a reservation.

This event list is quite long this week. I expect that the email will be cut off, you can read online for the full version.
