- Photo entries must be of an adopted Heavenly Paws Animal Shelter, Inc. cat. We always love to hear about our adopted kitties from Heavenly Paws! Please only enter indoor setting photos.
- Please make sure to only have your Heavenly Paws kitty in the photo. If you adopted siblings you can have both in one picture. Please make sure the photo is clear, crisp as your photo may be included in our 2023 Heavenly Paws Calendar! We recommend using photos that are at least 1600x1200 pixels or greater as each cover or month image will be a full-bleed image. If you want to use a picture from your smartphone please make sure the kitty is the main focus, the photo is very clear and is not small in size.
- Please limit to one photo of each Heavenly Paws kitty. When you go to submit your Heavenly Paws kitty photo please submit their name when you adopted them, new name if you changed their name and adoption year. There will also be a text area to describe your kitty.
- Everyone is eligible to vote. There is no limit to the amount of votes you can cast or the number of Heavenly Paws kitties that you can vote for and you can vote daily!
