Treasurer Report: Although we have a smalL profit this year, without the £3000 grant from Pets At Home Foundation, £2000 Funeral of Mrs Clements an avid supporter of our charity in the past and £3000 from Reserve Account we wouLd have a deficit. We need to generate more income, even though most of our expenses were down from last financial year. We also had £300 from a lady seLling crotchet pumpkins, £500 from Maesteg Town Council, £132 Collection Boxes and £320 from Shazelle a singer who supports us. Our total Income was £65962, and Expenditure was £65381. Secretary Report Building Insurance paid, everything running smoothLy. Despite teething problems with waste. The new company is almost half the cost of Kier. Cat Protection no longer issuing vouchers for neuter,. however. we still help those in need as much as we can. We also help those with dogs as well as cats even ifjust a consultation fee, Jan Brady has homed 28 cats and 30 kittens, homing's have been slow. We have cut our intake to try to reduce costs to the charity. Last AGM Jan Brady was asked to find out about chip and pin. She pa88ed the details received onto the shop. Cattery Report 40 cats homed this year Less than last year, but homing's have been terribly slow. This couLd be because of veterinary costs rising. Nicola has homes cats as far as CornwaLI, Hereford, Brecon, and West Wales. The only pLace we feel safe to advertise is on Catchat.org. We have also taken in stray cats from our vet. Shop and Bookstall Report Every charitable organisation is struggling. Our shop has the cheapest prices in town. The bookstalL has increased the price of books and is doing well. It was suggested the shop raise prices to generate more income. Some of the staff did notwant the chip and pin so it was decided cash only. Election of Off icers All officers remain unopposed.
