A team from the charity Cats’ Protection is offering free talks to schools, colleges and other organisations in Bradford.

In National Pet Month, which runs until May 6, the team will be giving the talks to raise awareness of the contribution that cats make to people’s lives, as well as the benefits of adopting a cat. Kirsty-Lou Watson, Cats’ Protection’s community education officer, who is co-ordinating the talks, said: “Those choosing a cat will be thoroughly rewarded as cats offer love and companionship.”
