About 20,000 cats were taken into charity’s care last year, an increase driven in part by pet hoarders
There is a cat crisis in rescue centres across the country, the RSPCA has warned, as abandoned felines now outnumber dogs in the charity’s shelters.
Cats are arriving in RSPCA centres faster than they can be rehomed, and the charity is asking people across England and Wales to consider adopting. Pet owners are being urged to neuter their cats as kittens are increasingly being found dumped in perilous conditions.
