The risk of cats being stray and un-neutered is they are more susceptible to ill health as well starvation and unethical trafficking by criminals.

Lauren Alice, from Preston's Cat Welfare Team, said: “There is a national crisis with stray and unneutered cats. All rescue centres are bursting. In Preston, we find Deepdale, Ribbleton and Fishwick to be particularly challenging areas.”
