INTRODUCING THE 2025 TOP CAT, DEXTER!
DEXTER not only raised more money than all the other cats, but he also raised more money than the dogs, and more money than has ever been raised before in this competition! Diana Nickler, owned by Dexter, went above and beyond by recruiting her co-workers, her Fantasy Football team (the Feline Footballers), and fellow cat aficionados. She sent emails and made numerous posts on Facebook to achieve this monumental goal. It was the highest amount ever raised in the Top Dog/Top Cat Competition thus far! We appreciate your support, Diana—and Dexter, too!
