Reader Stories: Most Unforgettable Adopted Cat Contest

By , About.com Guide

In honor of Adopt-a-Cat Month, we'll be celebrating throughout June 2010 with a photo contest. I'll be looking for unforgettable cats adopted from a shelter, rescue group, or personally rescued. Deadline is June 30, 2010. Please include a valid email address for notification purposes, as there will be several runoff polls which might include your cat.

Check out the other contestants, then enter your own unforgettable shelter cat. Be sure to read the rules carefully on the entry form. Grammar and spelling are important! I won't have time to edit entries, so please use spellcheck to give your cat an equal chance.
