Campaign FAQs
Roc Top Pet is an annual contest to find the top pet in the Rochester, NY area. You can learn more about the contest here.
All vote proceeds go to Verona Street Animal Society.
On certain days of the contest, for 25 votes Laszlo gets on a bonus-vote day, Verona Street will award him with an extra 25 votes.
The best way to know when bonus-votes will be given is to follow Laszlo on Instagram or Verona Street’s Facebook page.
If Laszlo wins, his photo will be on the can of a special run of beer made by Three Heads Brewing. Additionally, he’ll get a bunch of goodies like treats and toys!
While it would take far too long to list every reason to vote for Laszlo, here are a few key reasons:
– He is the quintessential orange tabby. That orange floof, those bold stripes, and his little white paws are truly the cutest combination of features.
– Unlike most cats, Laszlo knows tricks! He knows sit, stay, up, down, and can spin in a little circle on command.
– Laszlo is not just a cute cat, but an accomplished doctor and lawyer.
You can learn more about Laszlo on the campaign site or his Instagram!
The best way to get updates is by following Laszlo on Instagram. There you can get updates on his campaign, bonus-vote events, and of course see adorable photos of Rochester’s favorite cat. If you just want to know when to vote, you can sign up for a one-time email notification when the voting starts.
Laszlo appreciates your support! There are a few ways to help:
1. Have a small display with stickers, postcards, or other goodies (provided by us) at your place of business.
2. Host a campaign event. Maybe have a Laszlo drink special, or let our Laszlo cardboard cutout hang out at your business for the weekend!
3. Spread the word on social media! Laszlo is active on Instagram and would love to be mentioned or tagged in a post!
If you’re a business and you’re interested in some free stickers or hosting an event, please reach out to Laszlo on Instagram!
Shop FAQs
The profits for each sale will be saved and used to buy votes for Laszlo during the Roc Top Pet contest.
If possible, those votes will be saved for a bonus vote day in order to secure twice as many votes. Otherwise, we will buy those votes at some point before the contest ends.
We recommend buying merch early so 1. you get it in time to show off during the content, and 2. to make sure we get the funds in time to buy votes for the contest. Ideally, you will want to order before February if possible, as that’s when the voting starts.
If you order later, we will try to cover the cost ourselves until the funds come through on our end. If we’re unable to do that or if you buy merch after the contest ends, we will donate the profits from your purchase directly to Verona Street Animal Society.
For example, if you purchased something on the last day of the contest and we had the cash on hand to buy the votes, we would do that and then repay ourselves when the money from your order came through. If for whatever reason we were unable to do that, the money would be donated to Verona Street directly if it came through after the contest closes.
Once the contest closes and we have the final numbers, we will be adding a page with the breakdown of sales and what went to votes vs what was donated to Verona Street directly.
Due to the print-on-demand nature of Laszlo’s store, we are unable to offer refunds. Please see our returns policy page for more information.
Yes. While Laszlo will get some votes from merch sales, the most efficient way to use your dollars is to vote directly on the contest page. However, we wanted to offer some fun ways to share your love for Laszlo, so the merch is a fun, alternative option that still earns him votes in the contest.
At this time, all products are printed on demand and shipped directly from the printer, so we don’t have any stock stored locally.
