With multiple lockdowns forcing us to spend more time at home, people have sought comfort in our furry, feathered and scaly friends for companionship and fun.
We spoke to some new pet-owners to find out how they ended up expanding their households during the pandemic.
Friederike Rummenhohl of Watling View rescued kittens Loki and Milo before Christmas.
She said We weren t planning on getting any more cats after our cats died as we weren t emotionally ready. We fostered for a while and it was a lovely experience. A friend of mine then said her cat was having kittens.
