Gloria the cat has become something of a legend on Fort Myers Beach. As the resident cat at Doc Ford’s, she’s spent years greeting guests, lounging in the Florida sunshine, and making herself at home among the bustling energy of the waterfront. When Hurricane Ian devastated our community, Gloria weathered the storm and, against the odds, survived. Her return brought comfort and hope to the staff, locals, and longtime visitors who saw in her a reminder that even after the fiercest winds, life and spirit endure.

Gloria now stands as a living symbol of resiliency on our coast. Just as she embodies strength, grit, and a touch of sass, so does the sauce that carries her name. Bold, fiery, and unforgettable, Gloria’s Hot Sauce celebrates not only her story but also the resilience of our island community. Every bottle honors survival, recovery, and the enduring spirit of Fort Myers Beach.
