A cat that offers comfort to trafficked women has been named cat of the year at a national ceremony.
Marley, a black and white cat who lives at a safe house for women who have been enslaved, exploited and trafficked, won the award because of his “gift of empathy”.
Seven-year-old Marley beat thousands of other entries to win Cats Protection’s coveted award in recognition of the compassion he offers women at Caritas Bakhita House in London.
Karen Anstiss, the head of the house, said: “I’m so proud Marley has won national cat of the year. He’s a wonderful example of the power of love. Often Marley placing a paw on our guests’ legs is the first kindness they’ve experienced in years. He has this incredible gift of empathy and has assisted many, many women along the road to recovery.”
