Pawsome pet could win you £100 worth of Cats Protection goodies

Does your furry feline friend deserve recognition for the companionship and fun that they have brought into your life?

Cat Protection has launched its Alternative Cat Awards 2020, a virtual celebration of one of the nation’s favourite pets.

Owners are invited to upload a video of their pets to Instagram or Twitter using #AlternativeCatAwards into one of these categories:

#PurinaPurrfectTeamwork – Celebrating the bond between cats and their owners working or studying during lockdown;

#MischievousMoggy – Cats with interesting and playful behaviours that may have performed challenges or been a source of entertainment during lockdown;

#SeniorKitizen - Mature cats aged 11 years and above;

#PurrfectlyImperfect – Cats living happy, healthy lives with a disability, health issue or superficial aesthetic deformity;

#BestNewcomer – Cats adopted from an animal rescue organisation in 2020.

Category winners will be announced on Cats Protection’s social media channels on September 17. At the end of the day, the public will be asked to vote in a People’s Choice award for their favourite category winner, to be announced on September 23 by cat-loving comedian Bob Mortimer.

The winners will receive Cats Protection goodies worth £100, with the People’s Choice winner also receiving two tickets to the National Cat Awards in London on August 5, 2021. For more details, go to www.cats.org.uk/aca
