Mishra had heard about PETA's contest from the same military vet who saved Nanu one year ago. PETA's annual online contest ‚ which started in 2014, is a bid to encourage people to adopt animals instead of buying them.

The ten "finalist cats", hailing from different states from across the country, were selected among "hundreds of entries" on the basis of how "inspirational and motivating the submitted rescue story was." The public can now vote for their favorite cat — and the winners will be announced on July 30, on the basis of vote count. PETA also has a similar contest for rescued dogs.
