“We are thrilled with the participation of this first-ever ‘Flaunt Your Feline’ contest that celebrates cat heroes across the U.S. and the launch of FelineFoster.org,” said Liz Baker, CEO of GreaterGood.org. “We received more than 5,200 entries and 146,221 votes from the public. In addition to helping animal shelters and feline fosters with our grant prizes, this contest raises awareness for the lifesaving power of fostering pets.”
From July 9 until July 28, cat fosters and adopters were invited to share their most creative feline foster adoption profile or adoption story at FelineFoster.org for a chance to win. The Jackson Galaxy Project and Hannah Shaw selected the top 25 feline adoption profiles and the top 25 cat adoption stories for the public to vote on from July 29 – August 5. The top three entries from both categories with the most votes were announced on August 7.
The Jackson Galaxy Project, a program of GreaterGood.org, has helped thousands of homeless cats find forever homes. Hannah Shaw is a kitten rescuer, humane educator, and New York Times best-selling author that works with Royal Canin to support first-time fosters.
