“The cost of living crisis certainly plays a part, however Cat Squads primary issue is the horrifically escalating cost of veterinary treatment due to investment firm monopolising the veterinary occupation and putting veterinary treatment out of the reach of many individuals.

“Given the good condition and friendly nature of Charles and Camilla, they were certainly well looked after animals so Cat Squad presume they were discarded due to the cost of keeping them.
