Help us to stop the Big Kitten Con
21 April 2022
68% of cats purchased in the last year were found online, according to our CATS report.
While online shopping has become a huge part of our lives, particularly during the pandemic, the online sales of cats and kittens can have heart-breaking consequences.
Separating kittens from their mother before the age of eight weeks can have an impact on their behaviour, health and sometimes even their survival.
Unscrupulous sellers, looking to make a quick profit, are selling kittens underage that are weak, prone to illness and in the worse cases may die.
Mum cats can be mistreated and kept in poor conditions, bred for their kittens again and again.
That’s why we’re calling for cat breeding to be regulated across the UK.
