It isn't just for those on benefits, did you read it at all? It's for those with an annual wage less than £20k. The average wage is supposed to be £20k and minimum wage is a lot less.
Perhaps you should actually check before you complain.

So what you are saying is that you should have an equal chance at this charities funds alongside some OAP on much less than you earn whose pet is their only companion. Would you elbow them out of the way,after all they couldn't put up much of a struggle? I would be ashamed to be you.

Everybody is entitled to a pet. But not everybody is entitled to own a pet and have it paid for by the Government/charity. A pet is a lifestyle choice, not a necessity.

"The vouchers are available to cat owners whose annual household income is less than £20,000, and also to those who are in receipt of means tested benefit and meet our usual eligibility criteria"

A very good idea and an excellent way to reduce animal cruelty.

Could have something to do with benefits being set at a level just enough to support life (in spite of what the papers say)
.It need doing for the welfare of animals and Blue Cross is a charity so has limited funds.If you can pay then you should, if you care about animals.

It's not only available to those on benefits.
If you're household has an income of £20,000 or less, this is offering help towards the payment, not payment in full.
This is a good thing for people who have unfortunately became one parent house holds or for the elderly who get by on just a state pension, or for people who end up disabled through no fault of their own & whose financial circumstances have changed dramatically as they have had no choice but to give up their career.
I think this is a good help for people who perhaps only have an animal for companionship too & are in these circumstances.
Despite what some tv programmes lead us to believe of what is 'scroungers' there are also an awful lot more respectable people who need this extra help & have perhaps rescued an animal & give it a good, loving home.

because people on benefits need all the help they can get , have you tried living on benefits , i did when i was out of work and we struggled so much , we could not afford to go out for a meal or go to the pictures and then a meal ,we just could not afford to treat our selves like i do now , my daughter and her husband have 2 small children the both work and they still struggle , and they cant even to afford a pet

not complaining, just passing comment. And it also does not mean that i don't care about animals either.

My comment was not to cause offence. I work and so does my husband. We dont have much left once general living is paid for but at just over the £20k mark means we cant get any help. I know some who struggle on benefits and i know some who live the life on benefits and all im saying is everyone is entitled to own a pet no matter what they earn. If having pets neutered is the main target here it should be offered to everyone on a first come first served basis.
