The Scottish SPCA is appealing for members of the public in Edinburgh to offer cats a new home.
Last year the charity’s Edinburgh Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Balerno rehomed 174 cats and currently has more than 40 in its care.
Centre Assistant Manager Kenny Sharpe said, “Sadly, there has been an increase in the number of abused, abandoned and injured cats coming in recently.
“We have a mix of indoor and outdoor cats who would all love to go to a loving new home. What we need to do now is find them the right owners.
“It’s very important to match a person to an animal that will suit their home and lifestyle so we’d welcome anyone who is interested in rehoming a rescue cat to come along for a chat with a member of staff.”
The Centre is open to the public 10am until 4pm everyday (closed Tuesday).
A selection of the cats available for rehoming at the Centre is available to view at scottishspca.org/rehoming.
