An overwhelming supply of kittens has put the SPCA Hastings & Districts into overdrive - something that is being felt around the region.
The early stages of the kitten season have seen boxes of new-borns dumped at the gate on a daily basis.
Chair of SPCA Hastings & Districts, Daileen Kensington said it was becoming an "epidemic."
"The inn really is full and we are hoping that cat and kitten lovers considering adoption will give these lovely animals a forever home and allow us to give shelter, and de-sex, some more strays"
With the increase in supply and shortage of demand, they are now unable to respond to calls of abandoned cats and kittens - something which they "loath to do, as if they are left, it results in more kittens."
