英国皇家动物虐待防止协会（RSPCA）正面临日益严峻的动物收容压力。1该机构2025年对1780起涉及多只猫咪的事件做出回应，几乎每天5起，较前年增长近65%，涉及超过36000只猫咪。1根据数据统计，RSPCA 14个国家中心和私人寄养机构平均每月收入624只猫。12021年RSPCA 14个动物中心年收入4436只猫，2024年增至6408只，2025年10月已收入5616只。1去年所有寄养中心和独立分支机构共收入约20000只猫，且预期2026年进一步增加。1
RSPCA工作人员Beth Clements表示："我们看到了猫咪和小猫的大量涌入。遗憾的是这还没有放缓——这对我们的中心和分支机构产生了巨大影响。"1RSPCA首席执行官Jo Rowland指出："我们目前的动物数量超过了中心和分支机构的空间容量——这是其他动物慈善机构和救援中心也面临的令人心碎的局面。"1为此，RSPCA已在英格兰和威尔士向公众发出呼吁，希望更多民众考虑领养猫咪或加入寄养志愿者行列，以缓解救援中心的压力。1
Britain's RSPCA charity has warned that animal rescue centers nationwide are reaching a breaking point as cats arrive faster than they can be rehomed.1 In 2025, the organization responded to 1,780 incidents involving ten or more cats, accounting for over 36,000 animals—a surge of nearly 65 percent compared to the previous year.1
The scale of the challenge has strained the charity's infrastructure significantly.1 RSPCA's 14 national centers and private foster facilities received an average of 624 cats per month in 2025,1 while historical data shows intakes at the 14 animal centers alone rose from 4,436 cats in 2021 to 6,408 in 2024, with 5,616 already admitted by October 2025.1 All foster centers and independent branches combined took in approximately 20,000 cats in 2024, with numbers expected to increase in 2026.1
Beth Clements described the situation: "We are seeing a huge volume of cats and kittens coming in. Sadly this hasn't slowed down—it's having a massive impact on our centers and branches."1 Jo Rowland, the charity's chief executive, added that "our current animal numbers exceed the space capacity of our centers and branches—a heartbreaking situation that other animal charities and rescue centers are also facing."1
In response, RSPCA is appealing to residents across England and Wales to consider adopting cats or volunteering as foster carers to help alleviate the crisis.1
