TOP CATS: PURR MINISTER IS BACK

Battersea is preparing for a fur-midable feline face-off, as we prowl the campaign trail to find Parliament’s Top Cat.

So, does your feline friend have what it takes to claw their way to the top and be crowned Purr Minister 2024? Or will they be left tailing behind in the polls? There’s only one way to find out. 

HOW TO ENTER

Entries are open to all MPs and Peers (and their cats) currently serving in the UK Parliament. Each cat-didate will have a Manifursto explaining why they've got what it takes to rule the House.

From committing to more pet-friendly properties to cracking down on illegal kitten importing, we want to know which animal welfare policy will be popular amongst our Purr Minister entrants?

To enter, email a 50-word description of why your cat should be Purr Minister 2024, along with a short (30 seconds or less) video and picture of your cat to purrminister@battersea.org.uk by the 24th October 2024, where the shortlisted contestants will be announced for a public vote.

Your feline friend stands the best chance of winning if:

  • You include a key animal welfare policy.
  • The picture you submit is clear in quality.

Whether your cat is a frontbencher, a backbencher, or just loves lounging on benches, make sure to capture them in their most regal pose and all their perfect glory.  

May the best cat win!
