2027 Calendar Cover Winner: Bottle Baby Kittens
This year's calendar contest winner is small in size but mighty in impact. The Bottle Baby Kittens raised more than $11,000 to help pets in need, and they'll be featured in RAL's 2027 calendar!
Bottle babies are newborn kittens who are too young to eat on their own. Every kitten season, from spring through fall, hundreds of these tiny lives arrive at RAL needing round-the-clock care. They depend on bottle feedings every few hours, help staying warm, and plenty of gentle attention to grow strong and healthy.
We entered the Bottle Baby Kittens into this year's contest to shine a light on kitten season and the incredible people who make survival possible for these little ones. Thanks to our generous community, every dollar raised will support RAL's lifesaving work, helping thousands of pets each year find care, hope, and loving homes.
Behind every healthy, adoptable kitten is a foster who opened their heart and home. Together, we can give even more kittens their best start in life.
