Tess - Purina Lifetime Achievement Award
Rescue cat Tess has proved to be a real lifeline to her owner Samantha Marshall since adopting her 10 years ago. Samantha suffers from a personality disorder which makes it difficult for her to form relationships and communicate with other people. But despite some of the bleakest moments in her life, she has found the strength to carry on through.
Liz Wood from Purina said: “The Purina award is given to an older cat, chosen from all the entries, who best shows the lifetime of love, companionship and support cats give to their owners. The bond between Tess and Samantha is clearly special and has made a real difference to Samantha’s life, making her a worthy winner of this award."
