The National Centre for Reptile Welfare in Tonbridge, Kent, is facing a significant increase in the number of animals being surrendered due to the cost of living crisis, with a 30% rise in demand and a 20% drop in adoptions. The centre, which has rescued and rehomed over 500 species since its opening in 2018, is now aiming to raise £100,000 to expand its facilities.
