A kitten in a freezer bag was thrown over the wall of an animal rescue centre that said they are "struggling to live week to week" due to rising animal cruelty and the cost of living crisis.
The County Cat Indoor Only Rescue and Sanctuary in Walton opened its doors three years ago and due to mounting pressures surviving is becoming a challenge. Maria Miller a chemical engineer by trade said that the rescue is now at capacity and running up a £500 food bill every week.
On top of this Maria said more cats are being brought to the rescue by families who can't afford to feed them or by those who have discarded them completely to fend for themselves. Maria said she is tired of "picking up dead cats from the street".
