A Trustee of the UK’s leading feline welfare charity, Cats Protection, has been awarded an MBE for her dedication to feline welfare.
Eleanor Walls has been a volunteer for Cats Protection for 18 years and, during that time, has helped thousands of unwanted and abandoned cats and kittens get a second chance in life. She is Co-ordinator of the charity’s Croydon Branch and also served as Chairman of the charity for three years until November 2005.
Eleanor, from Purley in Surrey, said: “I am delighted to have been awarded this honour but see it not only as a personal achievement but as recognition for the wonderful work carried out by all the volunteers and staff at Cats Protection. We rehome around 60,000 cats and kittens every year and I am personally very proud of what we achieve for cats all over the UK.”
Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity, made up of 29 Centres and 261 voluntary-run Branches. More information about the work of the charity can be found at www.cats.org.uk
