Nelson, a one eyed cat rescued from the sea as a kitten, was crowned ‘National Cat of the Year’ and the winner of the Most Incredible Story category. The Hero Cat award was scooped by Cleo from Chessington in Surrey who stayed by her owner’s side in a time of need. Three-legged Legz is truly the Cat Ambassador of London. For army veteran Jack Dignam-Thomas, Elias is more than a pet. He is a vital link to the world when he becomes consumed by the painful effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. Mr Chips, winner of our Purina Better Together award, has had his share of hard luck. But that hasn’t stopped him living life to the full and when new owner Ian Turner was diagnosed with a complex medical condition, Mr Chips proved to be an incredible support. He has inspired many Kentish Town locals to adopt rescue cats of their own and even one to start volunteering for a cat charity.
