Their daily running costs have jumped to 7,000 pounds, and they're feeling the squeeze just like other UK animal charities. Donations across the country drop by 1.4 billion pounds last year, leaving everyone scrambling. These 3,044 steady donors already cover about 1.6 of the charities work, keeping animals fed and cared for year-round.
