Cats are for ‘Life’ not just for ‘Christmas’

The local RSPCA are appealing for people to rehome the huge numbers of abandoned cats in their care. In the last few weeks, the situation has reached ‘crisis point’ as an alarming number of people have called the local branch wanting to get rid of their cats.
The RSPCA believe pets ‘are for life not just for Christmas’, yet many people still continue to view their pets as disposable, impulse buys that can be abandoned at an owners convenience rather than a serious lifelong commitment.
Carmen Cole, Rehoming Coordinator stated “ we are currently inundated with calls from people wanting to give up their cats, it is worse than we have seen for a long time, and we are finding it hard to cope. We urgently need to rehome more cats so we can free up more spaces for other cats waiting to come into our care”.
Carmen added “We are desperate for loving, committed and responsible people to come forward and offer lifelong homes to our wonderful cats. We have cats of all ages, colours, and personalities, desperately waiting for their forever homes.”
All RSPCA cats have been vet checked, microchipped, vaccinated, spayed (if old enough), wormed and de-flead.
