Lymington Cat & Kitten Rescue was established by Trust Deed dated 13 December 1996 and is
registered charlty, No 1060244.
Objects, organisatlon and activities
The organisation was established to alleviate feline suffering by establishing a rescue and rehoming
charity in the New Forest area.
2023 saw demands on the charity's services continue to grow significantly, with the number of new
cases rising by more than 20 per cent to 270. The effects of the cost of living crisis were brought
iiito shal-p foius as maiiy owi)ei-s sti-ugg led to affoi-d pet cal-e aiid liad to i-eliiiqu isli tliei1- 0111 Illal>, A>
a result, the charity's rescue centre was at capacity for much of the year.
The majority of cases dealt with involved stray, abandoned, sick or unwanted cats and kittens who
were cared for, given veterinary treatment where appropriate and, when allowed, rehomed. On
numerous occasions when the rescue centre was full, staff and volunteers provided temporary shelter
and care for cats and kittens in their own homes.
The charity prides itself on a strict policy of never putting a healthy animal to sleep, and cats unable
to find homes for reasons of age, infirmity or temperament were given permanent accommodation
at our rescue centre, or adopted as ferals at farms, stables and smallholdings.
Once again the charity's two shops achieved a combined gross income of more than £107k. In
addition, a number of generous legacies were received and the sale of a property bequeathed to the
chariti/ realised just over £450k which will be help to fund the acquisition and developmep.t of
improved and extended premlses at the earliest opportunity.
With deep rggret the charity announced in October the death of Tern,1 foxon, husband of our late
founder Janette Frankland. Terry, who was 86, had played a vital role in the establishment and
development of the charity, offering unwavering support to Janette.
Appropriate measures were taken to ensure that the couple's home in Highfield Avenue could
continue to accommodate the rescue centre while the search for new headquarters continued,
Up to date news and infnrmation is available at the charity's regularly updated website
and through its social media platforms.
Finances
The organisation continues to be funded principally from donations, legacies, shop and sale takings.
