Nominate the ASPCA Cat of the Year! Give the trip of a lifetime to a very special cat and his/her owner! Nominate who you think should be the Cat of the Year and give a lucky cat and her owner a free trip to New York City! The ASPCA Cat of the Year will be invited to attend the Humane Awards Luncheon on Thursday, October 29, at the Pierre Hotel in New York City, where the awards will be presented.
Last year's ASPCA Cat of the Year was Libby, a 10-year-old tabby, who served as a guide cat to a blind pooch named Cashew. Libby helped her canine companion accomplish daily tasks, steered Cashew away from bumping into things and patiently guided the dog to her food. Libby was a true friend and hero to Cashew, and their deep-rooted friendship showed that animals of different species can understand and help each other overcome any obstacle.
