Battersea is thrilled to announce the winner of the charity’s coveted Purr Minister 2024 title: Attlee the cat, representing Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP, Speaker of the House of Commons. This victory is particularly historic as it marks a second win for Sir Lindsay, who previously triumphed in 2020 with his previous cat, Patrick, who has since sadly passed away. Attlee clinched victory with over 18 per cent of the public vote, emerging as a standout among an enthusiastic group of eleven “cat-idates,” each bringing their own distinctive flair to the campaign.
