The RSPCA is seeing a national trend in more people giving up pets amid the cost of living crisis.
A rehoming centre is "full to bursting" with kittens needing new homes as fears grow over a lack of people wanting to adopt them and the ongoing cost-of living crisis.
It's currently looking after 33 cats, including 23 kittens ranging from a few days old to seven weeks - many of which have to be hand-fed by staff and volunteers. "We suspect the reason for this is down to people who haven’t had their cats neutered and now we are seeing all these cats that are still only young themselves giving birth.
"We know that times are tough but if someone has decided that they can take on a new pet, we would urge them to go to a rescue first.
