All of the animals at the nonprofit Endangered Animal Rescue Sanctuary (EARS) have a forever home there, which requires constant and expensive upkeep. These residents range from lions and tigers to primates and bears, many of which were previously malnourished, abused or abandoned. The nonprofit EARS exists through public donations, which is why the biannual Hot Cars & Cool Cats fundraisers are so important.

The event held Saturday, Nov. 19 at the property of David and Sue Nassivera north of Ocala was filled with muscle cars, hot rods, sleek and modern machines, motorcycles and trucks. Attendees could also check out a number of vendors and a variety of entertainers.

The next shows will be held April 15 and Nov. 18, 2023. To learn more, go to FB.com/HotCarsAndCoolCatsCarShow
