County sees rise in abandoned cats


Published on Monday 3 August 2009 18:30

The RSPCA has announced a rise in cats being abandoned in Derbyshire for the fourth year running.

The number of cats picked up by RSPCA officers rose from 317 in 2007 to 391 in 2008.

RSPCA centres, branches, private boarding facilities and foster carers are currently overrun with cats, with hundreds in care.

The summer and early autumn period is the busiest time for cat abandonments.

The RSPCA believes that failure to get their pets neutered means that owners are left with unwanted litters of kittens on their hands, which they then give up for rehoming or simply dump.
