Actor and cat lover James Bolam provides the voiceover to the ad which features stark stories about individual cats. ![[Cat from DRTV ad]](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/files/u11/cats_protection_drtv_2008. jpg "Cats Protection TV advert showing cat") "Our new TV ad is simple and engaging," said Janet Wickens, Head of Fundraising and Communications at Cats Protection.
