Maine Coon Rescue Photo Contest

🐾 Welcome to Maine Coon Rescue’s Annual Photo Contest!

Calling all Maine Coon lovers! πŸ±βœ¨

We’re thrilled to launch our annual photo contest to showcase the charm and charisma of our beloved cats. Whether your feline friend is a majestic fluffball or a playful cuddle bug, this is your chance to let their personality shine and support a great cause. Our goal this year is to raise $5,500.00!

How It Works:
  • Submit Your Photo: Share your cat’s most captivating or adorable photo for a chance to be featured in our calendar. The Entry Fee is $15.00, and the photo needs to be high resolution and must not include people. Cats DO NOT have to be adopted from Maine Coon Rescue to enter.
  • Entry Timeline: Submit your photo between June 28 – July 27. Vote for your favorite cat June 28 – August 10.
  • Get Votes: Each vote is a $1 donation to our rescue efforts. Spread the word to friends and family!
  • Win Prizes: Top-voted photos will be featured on our 2026 calendar and win prizes.  The highest-voted entry will appear on the cover of our 2026 calendar and receive a feature page inside the calendar, plus receive an exclusive grand prize package!
  • All photos entered will be included in the calendar, regardless of voting results.

Every entry helps us provide medical care, foster homes, and forever families for Maine Coons in need. Your participation makes a real difference.

About
Welcome to Maine Coon Rescue, A Safe Haven for Maine Coon Cats

At Maine Coon Rescue, a nationwide 501(C) (3) non-profit organization, we are dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of Maine Coon and Maine Coon mix cats in need. Known for their majestic appearance, gentle nature, and intelligent personalities, Maine Coons are one of the most beloved cat breeds—but even these gentle giants sometimes find themselves without a home.

Our mission is to provide a second chance for Maine Coons who have been abandoned, neglected, surrendered, or found as strays. Whether they come to us from shelters, owners in crisis, or through rescue partnerships, every cat receives the love, medical care, and individual attention they deserve.

We believe every Maine Coon deserves a safe, loving forever home—and we’re here to make that happen.

  • Cat Name: Please provide the name of your cat. We’d love to read a brief bio to get to know them better!
  • Photo Quality: Submit high-resolution photos—these may be enlarged for the calendar, so we want them crisp and clear. If the quality is too low, we’ll reach out to you for a replacement.
  • No People: Please refrain from submitting photos with people in them, but multiple cats or other pets are welcome!
  • Original Photos: Only original photos taken by the owner will be accepted. Professional photos will not be allowed.
Important Notes

  • We reserve the right to decline any photo submissions that do not meet our guidelines.
  • Tie for Grand Prize: If there’s a tie for the Grand Prize, both cats will receive the prize package and share the cover of our calendar!

We can't wait to see your Maine Coon's personality shine through in the photos! Thank you for supporting our cause!
