Hi everyone,
While our two didn’t make it into the short listing for the cat faces of Amazon Pets we thought it was important to share with you an update that voting for our favourites is now open!
Full details on the competition below.
Amazon.co.uk unveils Britain’s most adorable pets in the running to become the Face of Amazon Pets 2016 following 28,000 submissions
Winners will strut their stuff in a series of ‘Petwalk’ videos as they become the official models for the Amazon.co.uk Pets Store
Pet lovers have been fighting tooth and claw to ensure their beloved companion becomes Amazon’s next pet model, following a nationwide hunt to find the first ever Face of Amazon Pets. Today, Amazon.co.uk has revealed the 35 most adorable pets as judged by animal lovers across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, to make the shortlist having notched up the most social media likes, shares and comments using #AmazonPets.
The competition, which launched earlier this month, has resulted in 28,000 ‘paw-some’ submissions on social media, with dogs, cats, reptiles, horses, birds, small furries and fish all being nominated by their devoted owners. The shortlisted pets are fast becoming the new pet stars of the internet and can be viewed at amazon.co.uk/faceofamazonpets, where the public can cast their vote from today until 5th June.
“We’ve received so many adorable submissions to become the Face of Amazon Pets and it was tough to narrow it down to the top 35,” said Melis Del Rey, Amazon Pets Store Manager and one of the Face of Amazon Pets judges. “We’d like to thank pet lovers for the phenomenal response. Our shortlisted pets are well on their way to becoming internet sensations. It’s clear that our pets mean the world to us and are an extension of our family that we’re proud to show off.”
The five short-listed Face of Amazon Pets entries for the cat category are:
Following the public vote, the judges, ‘Instagranimal’ pet superstars Winny the Corgi, and Blue Staffy’s respective owners, along with Melis Del Rey, will choose the overall Face of Amazon Pets, who will scoop £1,000 worth of Amazon Gift Cards, plus six runners up.
They will take part in a photo and video shoot where each of the seven animals will star in their own ‘Petwalk’ video, sporting the latest must-have products from the Amazon.co.uk’s Pets Store.

These cats are cute, but I can’t understand why they were chosen over Oliver or Ms. Nubia.
They had 28000 entries. Not entirely sure how they chose the top ones but I’m sure it wasn’t easy 😮
That would have been very difficult, but IMHO O & N are still better looking than a couple of those winners…
Thank you <3
I am at a loss as to why your cats were not chosen both have more appeal than the ones remaining. Ted would be my choice on this now.
I think black and black and white cats have it generally more difficult in these things but my two won a different competition recently so I’m not too worried. 🙂
I would be proud to call any of these models, “friend.” I don’t get why Oliver and Ms. Nubia are not finalists.

Awww thank you <3
Sorry to hear yours didnt get picked, going to throw in a vote for Scrappy though, his colors look beautiful.
I like scrappy too 🙂
Agree that yours should have been chosen. Barring that, Apollo does look very British, with that jaded expression. If he could speak, he’d say something perfectly cutting.
I thought he looked a bit like that too haha
Reblogged this on Rattiesforeverworldpresscom.
Hard to pick out one that stands out over the others, including your gorgeous gang. 🙂
Haha! Thanks 🙂
Voted for Ted, but it was close between him and Milk. Voted in the other categories as well.
Thanks 🙂
Sorry your lovely kats didn’t win – I think one of the judges must have had a little too much nip!?
Haha thank you but don’t worry. 😀
Keep entering them- they’ll get there!!?
We won a purina completion recently. Will have to post about that soon 😮
Oh how Pawsome! Can’t wait to read about that!?
Thanks 😀 and ps sorry I missed your tummy rub submission. I replied to it last night 😡
Mol!! That’s okay human – it’s verb crazy around here fur the last several weeks- The human barely has time to breathe – so it’s okay!
Make sure she gets some rest! 😉
She tries – but it’s almost impossible!
Just sit on her lap ? 😉
Hey – there’s a great idea! Thanks furiend!
You are welcome ?
?*trills*
I’m sure I read somewhere that black coated animals are harder to photograph/film for some reason, perhaps that’s why your two beauties didn’t make the final five.
Quite possible. People can easier relate to other colours of cats
Yes, definitely little Scrappy for me. What a face!
Never mind Nubsy and Ollie, have some treats and cuddles and you will forget all about it.
You know you are both gorgeous, so who cares about a ConTest?
<3 thanks
Phoebe, Leo, Errol Flynn and Merlin are sending you, Nubia and Oliver lots of pawhugs.
😀
