2025 Kitty Photo Calendar Contest: How Voting Works & How to Win

Who votes and why the kitty calendar matters

The people this ballot is built for are cat people. Feline Rescue, Inc. invites kitty owners to "help our kitties by participating" in its 2025 Kitty Calendar Contest, submitting a photo for a chance to be featured in the rescue's 2025 calendar. Every vote cast is a supporter saying which kitty deserves that spot, and the rescue benefits twice: once from the engagement around the fundraiser and once from the calendar sales and donations that follow it.

The organizer is a St. Paul institution. Its postal address, 593 Fairview Ave N, St. Paul, MN 55104, anchors the program in Minnesota's capital city, though the ballot itself is open to kitty photos from wherever a supporter follows the rescue online.

The platform doing the hosting is GoGo Photo Contest, a dedicated contest service whose footer carries a 2026 GGPC, LLC copyright line. The ballot for this fundraiser lives at gogophotocontest.com/felinerescue2025, and its navigation offers View Entries, Prizes, Contest Rules and About alongside a Sign In link.

Facts at a glance

The dated record for the 2025 kitty ballot

The 2025 page set the whole span in a single line: from Monday, September 23 at 8am CDT until Sunday, October 13 at 8pm CDT the rescue was accepting entries for its 2025 Kitty Calendar Contest, and the same dates governed voting for a favorite kitty or kitties. Entry and voting therefore ran together rather than in separate rounds. The ballot now displays a contest has ended notice, and its clock reads in Central Time, the zone every printed time on the page uses.

On recurrence, the GoGo Photo Contest ballot confirms editions in 2024 and 2025 under the Feline Rescue name. Off the platform, the rescue's news page carries a winners announcement headed "2020 Kitty Calendar Photo Contest Winners Announced!", which shows the calendar fundraiser predates its current hosting. A 2026 edition is the expected next run, and the 2025 page itself points visitors toward the latest contest with a check it out here link.

What the ballot does not print is a category roster or any per-supporter vote limit; confirm on the live ballot each cycle. The Contest Rules link in the navigation is the place Feline Rescue would carry those terms for the edition currently open.

How a supporter votes on the kitty ballot today

The mechanic is as plain as a fundraiser ballot gets. A supporter opens the Feline Rescue 2025 page on GoGo Photo Contest, browses the entries grid, and votes for a favorite kitty, or for several kitties in the same visit, since the page text explicitly says "your favorite kitty (or kitties!)". No nomination round separates voting from entry: photo submissions and votes shared the same September 23 to October 13 span in 2025.

A kitty owner who wants in follows the same page. Submitting a photo during the open span puts that cat into the running for the 2025 calendar feature, and the Prizes link in the ballot navigation leads to whatever tiered rewards the rescue attached to the fundraiser.

Timing matters because the page's clock runs on Central Time, so an 8am open and an 8pm close mean Minnesota supporters and anyone voting from another zone should convert before planning a last-minute push. The Sign In link in the header exists, but the 2025 page text never states that signing in is a precondition for casting a vote, so a first-time supporter should simply try the vote button and follow any prompt the platform raises.

With the 2025 edition closed, the same sequence applies to the next ballot once Feline Rescue publishes it.

Where this ballot sits among Minnesota's public votes

Minnesota's public-vote scene is crowded, but almost all of it is readers-choice balloting for businesses, and this kitty fundraiser is the odd one out. The state's best-of programs include Minnesota's Best and Best of the Midwest, both broad business ballots, plus regional titles such as Best of the Best Brainerd Lakes Area and the Duluth News Tribune's Best of the Best.

CommunityVotes runs two of the neighbors, CommunityVotes Duluth and CommunityVotes Rochester, each answering to its own publisher.

What separates the kitty calendar from all of them is the subject and the sponsor. Those ballots rank restaurants, shops and services for a newspaper or a voting network; this one ranks photographs of cats for a St. Paul animal rescue, and the reward is a calendar feature rather than a plaque or a listing. The hosting also differs: GoGo Photo Contest is a purpose-built fundraiser platform, while the readers-choice programs run on their own voting stacks. A supporter who enjoys voting here may well enjoy the state's business ballots too, but the rules, the prizes and the calendars behind each are entirely separate.

Strengthening support for a kitty entry

Because the ballot is a pure popularity vote for photos, the support that works is the kind cat lovers already give each other. An entrant's best assets are the photo itself, the kitty's story, and the network of rescue volunteers, foster families and local Minnesota cat groups who follow Feline Rescue, Inc. already. Sharing the entry link while the window is open, and asking again as the close approaches, is how calendar features get won on this platform.

On outside help, the 2025 page does not print a policy about purchased or automated votes; the Contest Rules link on the ballot is where Feline Rescue would carry any such term. That gap is exactly why an entrant should read the rules before spending money anywhere.
