We are thrilled to welcome Niki from Lola’s Mission to Hope Alley at The Cat Show Live 2026! Niki is a tremendous advocate for cat rescue, providing food and supplies to partner rescues. Following Lola’s passing in 2026, the mission continues to support cats in need – and we are thrilled to welcome the ‘Hope in A Bowl’ initiative to the event this year. Attendees and traders can donate product at the Lola’s Mission stand in Hope Alley where we hope to collect product for cats in need across the UK.
Lola’s Mission was created in honour of Lady Lola, a cherished cat whose gentle nature and unmistakable charm touched hearts around the world. Known online as Lady Lola and Her Boys, she built a global social media community that adored her for her sweetness, her calm presence and the joy she brought into everyday life. Her influence inspired us to do more for cats who did not yet have the safety, comfort and nourishment she enjoyed. That inspiration became the foundation of Lola’s Mission.
Almost three years ago, we began this mission with a clear purpose. We wanted to support the cats at Lulu’s Friends Rescue by ensuring they had access to the food and essential supplies they needed while waiting for their forever homes. Lulu’s Friends is a charity that relies entirely on volunteers and donations, which makes consistent support vital.
Lola’s Mission is based at Alder Veterinary Practice and proudly also supported by Surrey Family Vets. Their generosity and partnership help us collect, store and distribute donations efficiently, ensuring that supplies reach the rescue when they are needed most.
At the heart of our work is a community powered pet food bank that provides food, treats, bedding and everyday necessities directly to the rescue. These contributions create stability for the cats in their care, offering comfort and consistency as they heal and adjust. By easing the strain on rescue resources, we help ensure that each cat receives the attention and support they deserve.
Lola’s Mission exists to honour Lady Lola’s legacy by filling bowls, lifting spirits and ensuring rescued cats feel valued.
Together, we are building a compassionate community where no cat is overlooked, and every act of kindness creates a brighter future.
