Win fame for your cat and a $500 swag prize for you. Sloppy Joe’s Foundation is putting out the call to all cat lovers and their photogenic felines. The foundation has launched its first-ever Top Cat Contest to find the next furry face of “Caturdays 2026,” the popular year-round fundraising program that blends Key West fun with community giving.
Cat owners are invited to submit up to three of their favorite photos of each of their cats to enter the contest. The winning feline will become the official “Face of Caturdays 2026,” and will be featured in promotional materials, social media and events celebrating the foundation’s charitable work.
“Caturdays are all about joy, generosity and the quirky spirit that makes Key West special,” said Jeff Allen, chairman of the Sloppy Joe’s Foundation. “We wanted to create a contest that celebrates our island’s love of cats and the people who support our community each week through this fun tradition.”
The foundation raises money to support the people, animals and causes that make the Keys a thriving and compassionate community.
Each Saturday, Caturdays participants who make a donation to Sloppy Joe’s Foundation receive the signature cat ear headbands, a lighthearted symbol of giving that helps fund programs supporting the people who live and work in Key West.
The Top Cat Contest gives everyone a chance to share their favorite feline and join the fun. Voting will be open to the public Dec. 1-31, and the winner will be announced by Jan. 6, 2026. The winning cat gets the fame of being the face of Caturdays and the owner takes home a $500 swag bundle.For an online entry form and more information, visit sloppyjoesfoundation.org or follow @SloppyJoesFoundation on Facebook.
