'Ask us for help, don't dump pets on our doorstep', Coventry RSPCA says – BBC News
It comes after Coventry's branch of the RSPCA had a box of kittens, initially cared for for up to 10 weeks, abandoned on its doorstep.
Lorraine Bryan, centre manager in Allesley, said she and her staff were abused on a daily basis by people offloading unwanted animals, because its cattery was currently undergoing a revamp and does not have room for the extra pets.
In the UK, under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, external, the abandonment of animals can result in a one-year jail sentence, a £40,000 fine, or both.
Although the modernising of Coventry and District's branch of the charity continues, the charity says it is able to assist pet owners in other ways.
"It is taking a bit longer than usual because, due to the very strict licence conditions that we have, we've had to have a rebuild of most of the cattery," explained Ms Bryan.
