Dame Judi Dench and Flavia Cacace Mistry are amongst the stars
A group of cat-loving celebrities are donating their 'paw prints' to raise funds for Cats Protection, the leading feline welfare charity.
The Celebrity Paws auction will launch on 20 November and will run for 10 days.
Dame Judi Dench, Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson and dancer Flavia Cacace Mistry are amongst the stars who have already pledged their support to the campaign.
Cats Protection asked each celebrity to draw round their hand, decorate it and then sign it to create a unique item. All of the drawings will be auctioned on Ebay in November to raise much-needed funds for the charity.
Louise Waters, spokesman for Cats Protection, said: "This is the eighth year we have hosted our Celebrity Paws auction. Over the years it has attracted fantastic support from famous cat lovers - from Prime Ministers and artists to award-winning actors and TV favourites, and we expect this year to be just as popular."
"Each ‘paw’ will be signed by the celebrity and will be completely authentic. As with previous years, we expect these unique artworks will really get people bidding and raise some vital funds for unwanted cats and kittens."
From November, interested bidders will be able to view the full list of paw prints available on the Cats Protection website.
The RCVS has announced a new version of its 1CPD mobile app, with enhanced features for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses to record their continuing professional development.
