Proceeds from Birmingham's Coolest Cat Photo Contest will be used to spay and neuter local community Kittehs and assist individuals experiencing financial hardship with spaying/neutering their Kittehs.

• $35 fully funds a spay or neuter for a community cat – that includes surgery, rabies shot, pain medicine and an ear tip. (Ear tipping is an effective and universally accepted method to identify a spayed or neutered and vaccinated community cat.)
• A spay or neuter prevents unwanted litters and improves the lives of feral cats and their relationship with the community. (For information on the many benefits of Trap-Neuter-Return go to alleycat.org.)

• Sassiest Senior – Kitteh is 10 years of age or older.
• Fanciest Feline/Most Exotic – Kitteh may be a specific breed or simply have an exotic look.
• Best Dressed – Kitteh may be in seasonal costume or everyday apparel.
• Cutest Interspecies Couple – Kitteh with Hooman, or doggeh friend, or ferret friend, etc.
• Wild Explorer – Kittehs who love to be in the great outdoors either on a leash, traveling with family, or loving living the feral life as a Community Kitteh.
• Cat Napper/Couch Potato – Kitteh enjoys long naps, short naps and naps between naps.
• Hardest Working Purramedic – Kitteh excels at providing healing purrs and attention to other pets or family members when they're not feeling up to par.
• BirminghAmbassador – Kitteh in store, shop or business.
• Rascaliest Rescue – Kitteh was adopted from a local rescue or shelter. That rescue or shelter will receive a portion of the proceeds from this CATegory.

The Animal League of Birmingham is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization raising funds for non-profit rescues and shelters in Birmingham and the surrounding area who support the health, welfare and general well-being of animals in need. To help reduce shelter and rescue intake numbers, we consistently educate the public regarding affordable spay and neuter programs and regularly financially support such programs.
