Chi with eight-year-old Finley
A host of cat-loving celebrities are set to attend this year’s National Cat Awards.
Former Arsenal and England goalkeeper David Seaman, Dragons’ Den star Deborah Meaden and actor Tyger Drew-Honey are among the judges at the event, which is sponsored by pet food company Purina.
Winners will be chosen from five categories – Hero Cat, Most Caring Cat, Furr-ever Friends, Outstanding Rescue Cat and Purina Better Together – before one of them is named National Cat of the Year.
Each winner receives a trophy, a £100 pet store voucher, a year’s subscription to Cats Protection’s The Cat magazine and three months’ supply of Purina cat food.
Walter with owner Hazel
Two of the finalists are Walter, who raises the alarm when his owner suffers a diabetic seizure, and Chi, who helps an eight-year-old boy with autism cope with everyday life.
The National Cat Awards will be held at the Savoy Hotel, in London, on August 8.
