Cats Protection’s Rescue Cat Awards always prove popular with cat lovers from all over the UK and this year’s event was no exception.
The awards, sponsored by Purina PetCare, celebrate tales of courage, companionship, survival and heroism and we received the usual high standard of frankly remarkable stories of feline achievement from entrants across the UK.
The New London Theatre, which was home to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Cats for a record-breaking 21 years from its opening night in 1981, provided a fitting location for the ceremony which took place on 4 August with Marmite, from Fareham in Hampshire, awarded the title of Rescue Cat of the Year 2010. Marmite claimed the title after being a lifeline to his owner during a difficult pregnancy. Find out more about Marmite and the other category winners via the links below.
