The number of cats and kittens being abandoned has increased by over 30% this year, exposing a crisis for animal welfare charities struggling to cope.
Mike Elliott, feline welfare director, states that abandoning cats puts them in tremendous danger and highlights the charity’s financial strain with £50,000 spent on veterinary care.
In the wake of a pet ownership boom during the pandemic, households are now overwhelmed by costs and struggling to provide proper care for their pets.
With the UK's pet ownership declining, Cats Protection faces challenges rehoming cats, averaging 39 days per animal as the demand for assistance surges.
