Rising vet bills, food costs and other pressures are making it harder than ever to provide the care pets and horses need.
So far this year, we've seen a 22% increase in pets coming through our doors1 in need of expert care and a loving, new home. Generous support from pet lovers like you will mean we can offer the support they need.
Behind every vulnerable kitten is a bigger crisis
We need your help. Low neutering rates, as well as the cost of living and higher vet bills, has contributed to an increasing number of kittens needing us.
In some cases, they require round-the-clock care, with our teams going above and beyond to give them the best possible start in life, before finding them loving, new homes.
So far this year, we’ve seen 1,774 cat admissions (Jan – May 2026)
33% more cats needing a new home compared to the same period last year (Jan-Mar 2026)
