In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2005;

Organisaton
This Charity was started in 1998 by a small group of animal lovers and was registered with the Charity Commission in March 1999. Out of all of the original people that started the Charity only 1 remains, Lynn who fosters and acts as a Trustee. In April 2010 Tracy joined as a volunteer, became a fosterer in 2012, then a full member of staff and Trustee in January 2013.
We have a really good team of Trustees and volunteers who together enable us to keep going. We are now helping more cats than ever before and through dedication and hard work the Charity continues to go from strength to strength.
We will always try to help any cats in need where we can.
We raise most of the funds we need in our charity shop which is based in Waterlooville. Our vet’s bills are huge and without our charity shop we would find it hard to continue our work. As well as financial aid we also accept donations of cat food to help feed all those hungry mouths for our long term fosters. Cat bedding and towels/blankets also very welcome. Help can also be given by visiting our charity shop or making a donation. We are a non-profit-making organisation and aim to spend all the money raised on animals.

Volunteers

We could not do it without them.

Objectves
-
Helping with neutering and emergency operations in Waterlooville and the surrounding areas.
-
Successful running of the charity shop to raise funds for the care and wellbeing of these animals.
-
To raise the public’s awareness of the importance of neutering, to give advice and help where appropriate.
-
To maintain the excellent support we receive from the local community especially in the charity shop.
Financial
The results for the year and financial position are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 8 and the Balance Sheet on page 9. Total incoming resources were £60,642 (2023: £70,647). Resources expended were £93,482 (2023: £106,238). The deficit for this year was £32,840 (2023: deficit £35,590). The charity is looking to increase donations and charity shop sales in future by adding a tea room alongside the charity shop.
Animals
The total take in figure was at a significantly reduced level due to internal changes within the charity with only a few adoptions in 2023. The charity is for the foreseeable are neutering, dealing with welfare cases and emergency operations for owners.
As with most years, the majority of animals are not neutered. Unfortunately, a small number of cats were put to sleep due to illness or age-related issues during the year.
We continue to refer to or be referred by other rescues, helping with neutering and emergency operations.
As always, we continue to take back any cats that were originally adopted from us, where possible.
We continue to operate a non-destruction policy, regardless of age, temperament, or health issues.
St Peters Veterinary Surgery, along with Harbour Veterinary Group, are our designated vets.
A small “Rescue Centre” is still a big dream of ours.
Signed on behalf of the Trustees

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
