Time is running out for entries into the Feline Oscars. Don’t let your puss miss out.
The search is on for the UK’s favourite feline and, with less than two weeks until entries close, now is the time to enter your cat into Cats Protection’s Rescue Cat Awards 2008, sponsored by Purina PetCare.
Known as the “Feline Oscars”, the Awards are designed to celebrate the real-life stories of survival, bravery and heroism in the cat world. This year’s event promises to be better than ever with a glamorous award ceremony to be held at The Pharaohs’ Palace Hospitality Suite, which is part of the prestigious Tutankhamun Exhibition in London’s O2 Arena – a fitting venue given the ancient Egyptians’ love of cats.
The ceremony – on Friday 1 August – will be attended by celebrity supporters including Brian Blessed and Prunella Scales who will present prizes and pay tribute to the nation’s top rescue cats.
Owners have until 27 May to enter one of the four categories:
The Awards are open to any living cat rescued as a stray by its current owner or adopted from an animal welfare organisation.
Peter Hepburn, Cats Protection’s Chief Executive, said, “There is something very special about each and every rescue cat, and that is something we want to celebrate with the Rescue Cat Awards 2008.
“Rescue cats often have amazing tales to tell, from the touching to the truly remarkable and we would love to hear those stories. Not only would we like to give these cats the recognition they deserve, we also want to highlight how rescue cats make wonderful pets.”
The winner of this year’s Rescue Cat Awards will inherit the title from previous winner Tee Cee, a black-and-white cat that had been abandoned in a box as a kitten. Tee Cee was crowned 2006 winner after amazing judges with his ability to predict when his owner was about to have an epileptic seizure – proving to be a lifeline to his family.
