‘It is a real privilege to be here today, surrounded by so many cat-loving individuals and companies who truly think cat. We are delighted to be able to pay tribute to this year’s award winners whose hard work and dedication really does benefit cats, whether it enables easier medicating, provides the tools to better care for pet cats, or helps those working alongside street cats. There are so many people here today who have worked hand in hand with International Cat Care over the years, offering support and advice, enabling us to make real sustainable changes in cat health and welfare. We are delighted and honoured to be celebrating our 60th birthday with them.’

The images were striking and beautiful, each taken from ‘Street Cats’ the charities latest book, which was launched at the event. All money raised from the sale of the prints and book will go into supporting the charities welfare work.
