The RSPCA has launched a pet competition designed to showcase special bonds with their owners and raise money for local animal services. The Home Pet Show, taking place from May 17 to June 14, will comprise six main categories – including best trick, golden oldie, and best rescue – with all funds going to the RSPCA’s frontline work. A spokesperson for RSPCA’s Southridge Animal Centre in Potters Bar said: “The Home Pet Show is designed to showcase people’s animal friends and their special bond with them. “Unlike other pet shows, the RSPCA Home Pet Show doesn’t focus on looks or breeding, but prefer to see happy contented animals, their natural behaviours and the special bond they have with each other and their human companions.

We love Charlotte Atkinson s cat, Bettie, who was runner-up in the National RSPCA At Home Pet Show last year and brings so much joy to Charlotte, who lives in Ryde. Bettie is a three-year-old domestic short-haired cat and Charlotte said: Bettie is my saviour! I got her when I moved into my first home as some company. I suffer badly with my mental health and she is my comfort and gives me reason to get up every day. If she’s not screaming at me for food she will bring me a toy to play fetch! She may be a Tasmanian devil at times but I would be lost without her!
