The charity’s emergency line received reports of 739 incidents up to the end of October. This was up from 659 in the first 10 months of 2024.
To tackle the crisis, the RSPCA has launched an urgent appeal - The Big Give Back to Animals - to raise vital funds for the work of its frontline officers this winter. The charity’s East Lancashire branch is also calling for people to consider giving a forever home to pets in need this Christmas. Our photo gallery shows eight animals up for adoption:
