A cat from Chichester, who is part of the team at a day centre for adults with learning disabilities, has been named as a finalist in the National Cat Awards 2022.

Marley beat hundreds of other entries to take his place in the ‘Cat Colleagues’ category, celebrating cats who bring joy to the workplace or make working from home a pleasure.

The ten-year-old moggy was selected as a finalist in recognition of the positive impact he has on life at the Apuldram Centre, where he spends his days attending staff meetings, spending time with clients and chasing birds off the vegetable patch.
