Animal-loving celebrities including Holly Willoughby, Deborah Meaden, Jo Brand and Bob Mortimer have donated their own t-shirts to be turned into DIY cat beds
To show just how simple it is to create a safe, warm space for cats, a bunch of our cat-loving celebrity friends have donated t-shirts that we have transformed into cosy cat beds.

TV presenter Holly Willoughby donated a boho top and said: “We all know cats need a cosy hiding spot, so I love how easy it is to make one for them out of items we all have at home.”

Entrepreneur and Dragon’s Den star Deborah Meaden agreed saying: “I love to recycle and find new uses for items, so to know it’s easy to make our cats cosy using things we already have is great.”

The celebrity cat beds were featured on our social media channels, with followers getting the chance to win a celebrity t-shirt for their own DIY cat bed projects.
The remaining t-shirts will be used to create beds for the cats waiting for homes in some of our adoption centres across the UK, helping us to make their pens feel like home this winter.
