Do you have amazing pet photos? Here’s your chance to show off your fabulous pet pics, star in our 2026 Calendar, win prizes, and help community cats in your neighborhood!
📸 How It Works
Submit your best pet photos (as many as you’d like).
Share your entry with friends & family to get votes.
Every dollar donated = one vote = lifesaving funds for street cats!
🌟 Prizes & Features
Grand Prize: The pet with the most votes will get first choice of month placement in our 2026 North Bergen Purr Calendar + a tote bag & sweatshirt (or shirt) of choice from our merchandise shop
Top 10 Pets: The next ten (10) photos will each be featured in their own month.
Judges’ Choice: A special winner will also be featured, so pets with fewer votes still have a chance to shine!
💛 Why It Matters
This contest isn’t just fun — it’s lifesaving.
North Bergen Purr is fundraising to meet a $2,000 matching grant from United Spay Alliance. If we raise $2,000 through this contest, we’ll receive another $2,000 — that’s $4,000 total, enough to spay/neuter over 50 cats in our community.
Did you know that fixing just one street cat can prevent up to 2,000 kittens in four years? With your help, we can prevent thousands from being born on the streets.
