AN APPEAL to adopt a pet is being launched by Bromley RSPCA.

The branch is struggling to support all the animals in its care and is asking people to give a pet a home.

It is currently paying for 10 animals to be boarded because there is not enough room at the nearest RSPCA centre in South Godstone.

Bromley secretary Jane Walker said: "The waiting list can be up two to three months.

"It is our responsibility to look after these animals until we can book them into the centre."

The borough's society is independent of the main RSPCA and raises its own funds to cover the cost of looking after unwanted animals in the area.

Boarding fees can be around £8 a day, meaning it can cost £720 to board one animal for three months.
