Dog & cat parents will be offered a complimentary portrait session for their pet and can then submit the best photo into the contest.
A popular vote will be held on Facebook, where everyone can share their photo and allow their friends to vote. The top dogs and cats from the popular vote will receive prizes from our local sponsors. The top 6 dogs and 6 cats from the popular vote will receive a photo session for their pet, an archival print, and will be our models for the 2024 calendar with full proceeds being donated to Kitty City.

Our chosen Non-Profit
Kitty City, established in 2016, is a free roam, cage free, self contained safe haven for disabled and FIV+ cats. Kitty City also traps and places healthy cats in permanent homes through adoption. The disabled and FIV+ cats at the Kitty City sanctuary are permanent residents, located in Mandan, ND. The Kitty City organization is funded strictly through donations and has no paid employees. They rely on your donations, volunteers and fosters.
Kitty City also operates a pet food pantry for those experiencing temporary hardships. We currently have 3 small curbside pantries located in Bismarck/Mandan area.
Kitty City is an addition to the Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue. Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue was founded by Steve and Alison Smith in 2007. Triple H not only takes in miniature equine, but full size equine, donkeys, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits and ducks. The rescue/sanctuary for many, is a last stop last chance scenario. Many of the animals would have been euthanized or abandoned if there had not been a safe place for them to go. We provide end of life care and a place to retire.
