Regardless of how they end up there, the animals are cared for until a new home can be found. The RSPCA also offers advice to people who already own pets but may be struggling to cope with the cost of food or healthcare.

This week, they include one-year-old Sam, a kitten who was found locked up in a pet carrier next to some dustbins.

Here are all the cats and dogs currently being cared for at the centre that have not yet been matched up with the right owners –

One-year-old Sam was found locked up in a pet carrier next to some dustbins. He was scared and unsure, but since being at the animal centre, he's settled in and is loving the home comforts. He would be a great addition to any household and be happy to teach everyone the art of relaxation.

One-year-old Teddy is a Jug (JRT x Pug) and a lively and energetic lad with lots of potential. He has not been introduced to much of the world but he takes this in his stride with his handler beside him. He would suit an active family who can keep him entertained - and he'd need to be the only pet in the house.

Nine-year-old Lara is an affectionate cat who prefers a fuss and cuddle over playing with toys. She would love to join a quieter, cat-savvy family with an interesting garden to explore.
