Congrats to Our 2023 Class of Winners!

Congrats to Our 2023 Class of Winners!

Over 5,000 photos were submitted for a shot at one of our supurrlative categories. We were blown away by the cuteness, adventures, and stories about your kitties.


Best Glow Up: Sarabi

Judge @campwobblycat:
Sarabi has such a sweet face that caught my attention as I was looking through the photos. When I read her story about how she was born with a leg twisted backwards that later needed to be removed, her perseverance and cute photos won me over.

Most Likely To Be By Water: Beth

Judge @kittymojito:
We love the cool and confident strokes in the water, a very brave kitty for jumping right in and swimming with ease.

Best Flying Feline: Mees

Judge @vacation.cat:
I loved both photos of Mees: at the airport gate in front of their plane and looking out the window while in-flight! The more you can interact with your cat at the airport and on an airplane, the more comfortable they'll feel; I'm proud of Mees for starting his journey as a travel cat and can't wait to see more photos of his travels!

Best Whiskers: Stella

Judge @eatdrinkcat:
Clearly this gorgeous tuxedoed feline has more than just good looks and amazing whiskers going for her! There were so many amazing photos but Stella’s combo of brains and beauty put me over the top. I’m ready to hire her for my circus and the main attraction with her fabulous whiskers on fleek!

Best Road Tripper: Lilith

Judge @eatdrinkcat:
What can I say, Lilith is clearly a cat that LOVES a road trip. Nothing better than the wind in your whiskers while you take in the sights. If I could trade places with Lilith for an afternoon I would.

Coolest Destination Visited: Bowen

Judge @eatdrinkcat:
This handsome little house panther is seeing stars. He hikes everywhere with his human Sam who will presumably also be his agent when he’s cast in the next big Hollywood thriller. Remember your roots Mr. BowenCat and don’t forget all the little people you stepped on on your way to the top!

All-Weather Kitty: Diamond

Judge @copious_cats:
I could feel Diamond’s joy in sniffing the outdoor air. I really loved the perspective of the photo, with the beautiful forest in the background slightly blurred.

Most Adventurous: Grey

Judge @adventurecatwiz:
I love that Grey is adventuring in different terrains from off roading to snowy mountains to beaches. He appears to take on new adventures like a champ! He looks alert, happy and confident in all their pictures.

Happiest in a Harness: Kitty

Judge Emily, Travel Cat Co-Founder: There is a certain calmness to this Kitty. They seem totally relaxed and at east in their harness and sitting in the dirt.

Cutest Kitten: Riley

Judge Steph, Travel Cat Team:
Just look at that stretchy kitty! You can feel how comfortable and happy Riley is from the image, and it was my instant favorite!

Best Eyes: Orion

Judge @sweebabyboysalem: Orion's eyes remind me of light peeking through ice caves on a sunny day- a calming blue, iridescent, and absolutely mesmerizing.

Cutest Duo: George & Hammy

Judge @travelcatmom:
These two seem very bonded- I love how they’re doing the same pose and head tilt. I can feel their closeness through the picture and they don’t even need to see each other to be connected

Best Dressed: Winston

Judge @mytigerjojo:
I couldn’t resist Winston all dressed up in his pinstripe suit and ready to propose!

Most Likely to Be in Their Backpack: Barley & Oats

Judge Emily, Travel Cat Co-Founder:
This kitty has found their sunbeam and they are loving it! They are totally at ease and happy to be looking onto the water from the safety of their backpack.
