Two of the UK’s biggest animal charities have joined forces to welcome a House of Lords debate that recognised the challenges faced by rehoming organisations during the covid-19 pandemic.
Cats Protection and Dogs Trust said they were facing significant fundraising and operational difficulties as a result of the crisis.
The issues were raised during a House of Lords debate by Lord Black of Brentwood, who said: “One thing that unites many of us is our love of our pets, which are especially important for many lonely and vulnerable people. The main point I want to make is that our pets, along with the animal charities that care for them, have been impacted by the onslaught of covid-19 and need support.”
