2026 Nine Lives Calendar Fundraiser

Make your cat a star. The Nine Lives 2026 Calendar Fundraiser is here! Entries and voting are open from July 1 to July 31.

Every cat deserves a moment in the limelight. Make YOUR cat famous by featuring them in our 2026 calendar! The Nine Lives calendar is packed with pictures of fabulous felines and is enjoyed by hundreds of cat lovers every year. Even better, every dollar raised helps Nine Lives save even more at-risk cats and kittens.

If you love taking photos of your cats and want to help us save lives, this event is for you!

Last year, we raised an incredible $30,000 to help cats in need and support our life-saving mission. Let's beat that goal in our 11th Annual Calendar Fundraiser, which runs July 1 to July 31.

Here's how to participate:

Submit your best cat or kitten photo to get your kitty featured in the 2026 Nine Lives Calendar and for a chance to win the honor of “Cover Cat,” “Cat of the Month,” or another featured section. Your entry gives your cat their first vote!
Each photo entry is a $35 donation and includes a complimentary copy of the 2026 calendar.
Every photo submitted will be included somewhere in the calendar — all cats are welcome!
Vote for your favorite photos and ask your friends and family to do the same. This is a fundraiser, so every $1 vote is a $1 donation to Nine Lives.
Enter and vote as often as you like!

The competition heats up as the top contenders vie for the honor of “Cover Cat.” Ask your friends, family, and co-workers to join in the fun and vote for their favorite photos. Keep checking this website daily and watch us get closer to our fundraising goal with every vote!

How to get your calendars:

Your complimentary calendar will be available this Fall. You can choose whether you want to pick it up or have it shipped to you for a $5 fee.
You can also pre-order extra calendars for $20 each (including sales tax). They make wonderful and unique holiday gifts and are a great way to show off your amazing felines to friends and family.
To order additional calendars, go to “Order Your Calendar” on this page or select Participate/Calendar Order.
