Celebrity chefs urge public to get baking to support Cats Protection fundraiser
Kim-Joy's ginger biscuits include an 'adopt don't shop' message in honour of her rescue cats, Inki and Mochi.

Unique recipes support afternoon tea campaign

In support of Cats Protection’s Pawsome Afternoon Tea fundraiser, Masterchef winner Tim Anderson and Great British Bake Off star Kim-Joy have shared biscuit recipes to help keen bakers raise money for needy cats across April.

The celebrity chefs are both cat owners and have said that they hope this fundraiser will help to raise awareness of cats in need and the importance of adopting a cat, rather than buying one.

This is the fourth year Cats Protection has run its Pawsome Afternoon Tea campaign, which encourages people to hold tea parties, bake sales and fundraising events to help raise money for the charity.

Organiser Zoe Thompson from Cats Protection said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones enjoying some bakes, as well as raising funds to help the many unwanted cats in our care. We hope cat lovers will sign up and feel inspired to re-create Kim-Joy and Tim’s recipes!”

To view the recipes and other fundraising resources please visit the Cats Protection website.
