Williams says the steep rise in the cost of living is making it difficult for some pet owners to cover vet bills and basic expenses. Battersea recommends owners will typically need to put aside £1,500 to cover costs for the first year of looking after a cat.
“Neuter surgery is really important but it does cost money,” she said. “I don’t think when people initially think about getting a cat they necessarily think about all the costs.”
At the other end of the spectrum, Battersea is also receiving a growing number of inquiries from owners of Savannah cats, an expensive crossbreed between a domestic cat and a serval. The hybrids are incredibly attractive creatures, with marbled patterning, large ears and an athletic build. But their activity levels and strong hunting instinct mean they are not always easy to manage as pets. “They can do a lot of damage and we’re hearing from people who can’t cope with them,” said Jo Puzzo, the centre’s cat welfare coordinator. “It’s not an animal that should be kept indoors.”
She added: “We did have one come to our Kent site, which we rehomed on a farm.”
Williams said anyone thinking of taking on a kitten should also consider the time commitment required to settle them into a new home. “Make sure you have the time and have read up on how much effort they are,” she said. “If you’ve got the time, you can have this wonderful kitten that comes in and gives you all this joy and grows into your beloved cat who can be with you for 20 years. I’d always recommend getting a cat, but you just need to make sure you’ve got the right one for you.” https://www52.zippyshare.com/v/qn4C1NNO/file.html |
