Cats Protection Derby Adoption Centre, near Ashbourne, has rehomed 22,000 cats and kittens since it first started in 1998.The centre is hosting a gala on Sunday to celebrate the milestone and raise more funds for the charity.This was due to two cats each having litters of eight kittens and the cost-of-living crisis.
"It has been our busiest year - the whole of Cats Protection countrywide are finding that our waiting lists are longer and a lot of people are needing our help because, sadly, the cost of living is impacting and they can't afford their pets," she said."We're also supporting some foodbanks so people can get some food to feed their cats."
