We know that cats do not travel well, so in person events can be tricky. As cat enthusiasts and advocates, we got you covered. In conjunction with the 2025 Purr Prom being held Saturday August 9th, 2025, from 5pm to 10pm, we are having a Purr Prom Court Photo Contest.
Here is how it works:
Enter your cat (s) by uploading your favorite picture of you and your cat, or of course you can share just your cat.
Then get people to donate to vote for them!
Each vote generates revenue to help the four key programs at Indy Neighborhood Cats.
The winners will have their images featured in a Prom King and Queen feature at Purr Prom!
The Pet Parents will get free general admission to the event to help celebrate the fabulousness of their newly crowned Royalty.
Submissions and voting start at 9:00 PM (Eastern Time) on Friday, July 18, 2025. Submissions are allowed until 9:00 PM (Eastern Time) on Sunday, August 3, 2025.
Indy Neighborhood Cats (INC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the only group in Indianapolis with dedicated boots on the ground focused on tackling cat overpopulation through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). TNR is a proven, humane method and one of the four key strategies used to proactively address the overpopulation crisis among free-roaming cats.
Founded in August 2019, INC prioritizes working in the most underserved neighborhoods of Indianapolis—areas where animal enforcement teams receive the highest volume of calls related to stray and community cats.
In just six years, Indy Neighborhood Cats has grown exponentially, successfully trapping, neutering/spaying, and vaccinating more than 12,000 cats. This remarkable impact has been possible through strong collaboration with animal welfare partners across the city. INC’s primary partners include FIDO Indy, Indianapolis Animal Care Services, IndyHumane, Friends of Indy Animals, and the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust.
