Meet our purrrific winners!

We had so much fun with our second Photo Contest!

We received more than 4,000 entries, and loved each and every one of them. With the help of Catster readers, we pounced on these three winners:

Grand Prize Winner, Friends Fur Ever Category: Nora and Brees

Nora and Brees were fostered with their calico mama and three brothers by Jennifer Woo. All were adopted, and the girls now live in Chicago. Jennifer keeps in touch with their forever mom, Pamela. Their personalities haven’t changed much — Nora is a bit high-maintenance and something of a drama queen, while Brees (now called Hannah) is very mellow and easy-going.

Jennifer lives in Indianapolis where she works in education and has three cats of her own: Lacey, Bodie and Bear. She’s been fostering for IndyHumane since 2017, and by the end of 2020, she should surpass 100 total fosters! She hopes to start volunteering to TNR (trap-neuter-return) community cats in Indianapolis soon.

Follow Jennifer’s fostering adventures on Instagram @newkittensontheblock. Lacey, Bodie and Bear also make frequent appearances there!

Jennifer (pictured with Bear) and her kitty crew will receive a year’s supply of Ultra Cat Litter, one bag of cleanprotein kibble and 12 cans of cleanprotein pate from Dr. Elsey’s.

How did she capture this shot?
“It all started when Nora (left) fell asleep on the cat bed. Her sister, Brees (right) had fallen asleep nearby. After taking a few pictures of Nora, I thought I’d see if I could add her sister. It worked! They snuggled right up together.”

Second Place Winner, I Fits, I Sits Category: Fosse

This 1-year-old, male Napoleon is named after the legendary American choreographer Bob Fosse. He was adopted from a breeder because he is the non-standard type of Napoleon (he has long legs).

His human mom, Anastasia Lampert, says that Fosse is incredibly social and affectionate, and loves to follow her around the house. He’s also a bit of a diva, craving the spotlight and getting upset when not allowed to jump in the refrigerator or onto the kitchen counters. He loves to play and also enjoys sitting by the patio windows watching butterflies and lizards.

Anastasia owns a luxury cat hotel called MeowLux in South Florida. She and her husband, Joey, lost their beloved cat, Mila, to feline infectious peritonitis years ago, so they are big supporters of Winn Feline Foundation’s Bria Fund, which provides funding, research and education toward the fight against FIP.

Fosse also shares his home with Leila, an older Persian cat Anastasia and Joey adopted about four years ago. Leila now lives her best life — sleeping on her orthopedic bed, wandering around the house and occasionally getting annoyed at her younger brother who always wants to play. You can follow Fosse on Instagram @fuzzyfosse.

Anastasia and Fosse will receive a six-month supply of Ultra Cat Litter, one bag of cleanprotein kibble and six cans of cleanprotein pate from Dr. Elsey’s.

How did she capture this shot?
“I went into the bathroom to wash my hands and saw Fosse sleeping in the sink. It’s his favorite napping spot. He’s a long-haired cat, so the porcelain keeps him cool and is a perfectly shaped cat bed. He looked so happy and comfortable, with a handsome smile on his face and lying in a perfect upside-down circle.”
