2020 Australian Firefighter's Calendars Are Hotter Than Ever And They Include Cats
The Australian Firefighters Calendar has been turning heads since 1993, but this year’s edition adds an extra dose of charm. What started as a fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital Foundation has grown into a long-running tradition that has raised millions for charity, and the 2020 lineup is getting plenty of attention.
This year’s calendars come in six themes, including cats, wildlife, horses, farm animals, dogs, and the classic firefighter version. The cat calendar, in particular, is making a big splash, and the behind-the-scenes footage only adds to the appeal.
With worldwide shipping and a fast sell-out, these calendars are proving hard to resist. Read on.
The Kitties
The 2020 Australian Firefighters Cat Calendar will appeal to every crazy cat lady and man worldwide. It features our very handsome firefighters alongside cute and cuddly rescue kittens and cats.
According to their website:
Whether you are a fan of tabbies, torties, tri-colors, gingers, blacks, Bengals, or Flame Points, there is a gorgeous cat here for everyone! All these adorable cats and kittens are rescue animals from ABC Rescue Qld, AMS Cat Haven, and Best Friends Felines.
And one cat-tastic model found the purr-fect companion during his photo session:
"The bond between humans and animals can be incredibly profound, often leading to moments of joy and connection that are simply magical," says Dr. Alexandra Solomon, relationship therapist. "We guess it really was love at first sight for this Brisbane firie when he held precious little fur baby Sarah for his 2020 calendar shot!"

The Wildlife Calendar
Featuring Madagascan lemurs, a tamarin monkey, Splodge the goanna, and Bagi the red tree kangaroo, along with the world's largest rodent… an adorable capybara named Elaine.
According to their website:
If you’re a lover of feathered friends, you will adore the gorgeous colors of the rainbow lorikeets on the cover. Inside the calendar, we have Jessie, the fiercely stunning wedge-tailed eagle, Gandalf, the sulfur-crested cockatoo, and a gorgeous owl named Toohey, who has the goldest eyes you have ever seen!

The Horse Calendar
2020 is the year of the horse, well, for Australian firefighters anyway. This is the first year the team has produced a calendar of this variety, and we're not neighing with disdain. According to their website:
We were kindly allowed to spend time with and take photos of all the horses and ponies featured in this calendar. Healing Hooves Inc. rescues horses bound for slaughter and those that come from traumatic backgrounds. They lovingly rehabilitate them for use in therapeutic programs that assist those suffering from mental health disorders, addiction, autism, ADHD, emotional, and physical disabilities.
Reason to Thrive provides equine-assisted activities that promote physical, mental, and social health. These programs have been developed to assist a variety of groups, such as at-risk or disengaged children and youth, children with special needs, and women and children who are survivors of domestic violence.

The Farm Life Calendar
Those who have an affection for farm animals will love seeing Ace the horse and Merlin the working farm dog alongside the cuter-than-cute piglets, ducklings, Pepper the chicken, ducks, kids, lambs, an alpaca named Ally, and the cover star, Issy the fluffy bunny rabbit!

According to their website:
Our iconic rescue puppy calendar also features adult rescue dogs cuddling up to our gorgeous real Australian firies. Our adorable cover star this year is George. It is hard to imagine that this precious little guy was an unwanted pup looking for a loving home.
The list of beautiful rescue dogs in this calendar is endless. Two Groodle brothers, beautiful British Bulldogs, Frenchies, Alsatians, a Samoyed, and a Labradoodle named Lenny, just to name a few. The rescue dogs in this calendar are lovingly cared for by Safe Haven Animal Rescue, ABC Rescue, and Precious Paws.

The Classic
Of course, what could be better than the classic calendar? (Cats, probably, but this one is a close second.) The Classic does not feature any animals, but it does feature:
12 months of the hottest real Australian firefighters from all around the country. They are hot, fit, and sexy firemen who train hard all year long to stay in top shape in order to meet the rigorous requirements that come with the very important job of saving lives.

It's im-paws-ible not to see how much purr-sonality is behind these calendars. Check out this bonus behind-the-scenes video!
There is no shortage of personality to be seen here, folks.
That cat calendar sold fast, and the demand only made the buzz louder.
The calendars ship worldwide, so you don't have to live in Australia to appreciate Australian firefighters. Just check out their website and know that everyone walks away happy. Let us know in the comments what you think about these cat-tastic calendars!
