The RSPCA has said the number of abandoned pets in England and Wales is up 25% compared to the previous year.

Data provided by the charity shows as of July, it responded to 22,908 animals being left by their owners.

It said Covid and cost of living fears meant fewer people considered taking on a pet, with the number of rehomed animals down 10% year-on-year.

The RSCPA's pet welfare expert Dr Samantha Gaines said it was "really concerning".

The charity has launched its annual [size=inherit]Adoptober campaign[/size], which encourages people to consider adopting or fostering a rescued animal.

Only a suggestion but food banks would be 'hands on' and more accessible.

It has been pointed out to me that pet food is put in with other foods,  but it means sifting through the foodstuff which takes time and the pet food would be minimal in comparison.
