💨 Abstract

In the UK, a cost-of-living crisis has led to a surge in pet abandonments, with more than 5,700 cases reported to the RSPCA in the first few months of 2023, a 32% increase from the same period in 2024. Struggling pet owners are giving up their animals due to financial difficulties, with some having to choose between feeding themselves or their pets.
