Cat owners are being urged to "be responsible" after rescue centres are seeing "chaos".
As we head into kitten season, cat owners are being urged to protect their pets with a simple surgical procedure - neutering. Although cats can breed all year long, they predominantly breed and give birth during the spring and summertime.
In just four weeks, rescue centres have seen incredible demand, from kittens being abandoned on the streets, pregnant cats running away, cats hit by cars, as well as injuries from fighting male cats - many of which could be avoided if pets had been neutered. The ECHO previously reported on the increasing vet bills being faced by rescue centres, with fears for the remaining year.
