This document sets forth a report on Purrfect Paws Feline Rescue, registered charity number 1074886. It outlines the organisation’s objectives and activities, its achievements and performance, proceedings, intentions for future periods, and a detailed review of its financial standing.
## Introducton
The Trustees present their report and financial statement for the year ended 30[th] September 2024. This report is presented in accordance with the statement of recommended practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (SORP), issued in March 2005.
The Charity is governed according to the Constitution dated 3[rd] March 1999 and amended by resolution dated 28[th] September 2008.
The Charity’s annual reports are published on the Charity Commission Website, with effect from the year ended 30[th] September 2015.
## Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilites
The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2005;
- Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to do so.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## 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.

- John Bentham
- Lynn Hutchens

## Volunteers
We really do appreciate all of our volunteers and Trustees. Their continued support, hard work and determination help us to continue rescuing cats in need.
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.

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30[th] September 2024, which are set out on pages 8 - 10
## RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The Charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year, section 144(2) of the charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
- To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)b of the 2011 Act
- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. 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.
## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention:
- (1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act;
- To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
Have not been met; or
- (2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
