30 October: BATTERSEA DOGS & CATS HOME COLLARS & COATS GALA BALL, London
If you happen fancy a glitzy evening hanging with some cute hounds and a host of showbiz names (and happen to have a few thousand going spare), then get your name down for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home’s Collars & Coats Gala Ball. Basil’s mate and male model David Gandy was at last year’s event so the potential of his presence alone is worth raiding the doggy bank. View last year’s bash in our Puparazzi photo gallery.
