What's cuter than cats? Shirtless firefighters exercising with cats for a few good causes! The Australian Firefighters Calendar has been raising money for various charities for 25 years. Now, there are several calendars of shirtless firefighters posing with cats, dogs, and horses to choose from. The proceeds go to support charities including childhood cancer nonprofits, a group that works with people with Down Syndrome, and several animal organizations.

The calendars have raised millions for philanthropic causes and are available for purchase (and you don't have to live Down Under to buy them).

In the promo video for the calendars below, several of Australia's finest are joined by adorable felines during their exercise regime.
