Plea for all cat owners to have pets neutered
A Preston charity is appealing for people to get their cats neutered in a bid to stop the number of abandoned animals.
Cats Protection, based at Higher Greenfield, Ingol, has dozens of cats on the waiting list and in need of a loving home.
A spokesman said: "There are already hundreds of unwanted cats in the area and the volunteers are dreading the birth of yet more kittens in spring which will only add to the heartbreaking situation of many unwanted adult cats.
"Neutering offers many solid benefits to cats and owners alike. They are less likely to spray, stray and fight. And it protects against disease as fighting cats are more at risk of fatal diseases that are spread through bites."
Cat owners on a low income who need to have their pet neutered can call Preston Cats Protection on 01772 748788 for details of a free scheme.
