After sifting through hundreds of photographs of lovable rescued cats – as well as their rescue stories – the judges have selected P.I.B, whose guardian is Sunita Rao of Bangalore, as one of the ten finalists in People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India’s first annual Cutest Rescued Cat Alive contest.

Sunita found P.I.B on a street after her mom was killed in an accident.

“My intention was to foster her and then find a suitable home for her,” says Sunita “And as it ultimately turned out, though there were people who were willing to adopt her, I never could give her away.”

“P.I.B is a lucky cat, indeed, and she has returned the favour of being rescued by bringing much love and joy into Sunita’s life”, says PETA India CEO Poorva Joshipura. “All rescued cats are already winners because their lives were saved by people who love them for who they are.”

PETA India is running the contest to urge prospective guardians to adopt a needy cat from the streets or an animal shelter instead of buying kittens. Pet shops and breeders often keep animals in dismal conditions and contribute to the problem of there being too many cats and not enough good homes by churning out animals to sell.

The lucky kitty who is named the Cutest Rescued Cat Alive will receive veggie-shaped cat toys, a first-place certificate, and the guardian will receive an autographed copy of PETA founder’s book 250 Things You Can Do to Make Your Cat Adore You.
