About the Tama Calendar

The Tama calendar is quickly becoming a beloved item for cat lovers, and the 2027 edition aims to be no different. Each calendar features charming photos of cats shared by fellow turtle enthusiasts, showcasing the delightful companionship we share with our furry friends. With the aim of filling 2027's calendar pages with spectacular cat images, the organization beckons participants to share photos taken at home that highlight the most stunning and cute aspects of their cats.

The contest invites submissions of cat photos for the first six months of 2027. There is no limit to the number of entries, allowing cat owners to send in as many delightful photographs as they wish.
