A mum issued a plea to new and prospective pet owners after she found herself 'feeding about 10 stray cats' that she could not give away to a centre.
Stephanie Frances, 34, from Wallasey, has seen her house become a meeting point of sorts for the stray and feral cats in her local area, many of which come originally from house cats that were not neutered. Some of the cats do have owners, though are kept outside, occasionally roaming to Stephanie's garden and even into her house at times.
The mum-of-one has had to change her cat flap after strays and random unneutered outdoor cats kept entering and spraying inside her house. But even now she says that she can still expect large numbers of the strays in her garden whenever she goes outside.
