Lincoln Cat Care is a small charity concerned with 'any and all, cat welfare issues in the vicinity of Lincoln and Newark . It was cOn1Ved in 2004 and was granted charitable status on 28th December 2005 . In the Deed of Trust tha purpose was described TO PROMOTE HUMANE BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS CATS BY PROVIDING APPROPRIATE CARE, PROTECTION. TREATMENT. AND SECURITY FOR ANIMALS WHICH ARE IN NEED OF CARE AND ArrENTION BY REASON OF SICKNESS, MALTREATMENT, POOR CIRCUMSTANCES OR ILL USAGE AND TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC IN MArrERS PERTAINING TO CAT WELFARE IN GENERAL Benefiting cats , kittens and the public . The Charity benefits the public in many ways . The consequenc8 of poor or absent feline welfare is worying to pet owners and those who value the cat / human bond . We provide advice and help ( sometimes financial) to members of the public when this is within our power .Those unhomed cats which present a road accident or disease risk in their feral exlstence are captured and , wher8 possible ,, found a stsble environment to live in . Population dynamics in cat society makes neutering advisable and cost effective . Our policy is to facllltate feline neutering at an earty age thereby reducing numbers of unwanted cats and kittens . We believe helplng cats , helps their owners and helps society . Our phone and facebook contacts are experienced volunteers who try to resolve difficulties to the benefit of cats . their owners and the general public . We are a volunteer based group . because we employ no one , most donated income goes to help cats wlth a tlny proportlon only used to run the Charty . Rehorning is frequently requested but it presents problems for our Charity , depending as it does on the limited capacty of our fosterer's facilities . Our members benefit from helping people and should be justly proud that they do a really worthwhile job . Our members . Charity members , numbering over one hundred . apply thelr strengths to many roles . There are broadly speaking three categories :_ Rescue and fosterers Fund raisers ( shop . jumble sale volunteers , car booters ) Administrators Most volunteers are multi role .Lincoln Cat Care 's continued success lieS on the kindness and hard work of tts members and donors . as well as its reputstion
for 'always being there, . We cannot always help but we try to do the best we can . Lincoln Cat Care has need of more voluntary help - for exampla :_ Fostering cats Rescuing cats and kittens Transport of cats and owners for treatment Fundraising at jumble sales and fetes Retail work at our High Street charity shop Lincoln Cat Care has a management Committ which attends to the day to day matters and a Trustees committee to oversee the business . Though physical meetings were reduced in number , communication problems weren't an issu8 and did not materially influence our work . The Trustees aimed to recruit more charity Trustees in 2022 as our 6 member Committ had been unchanged for 10 years . Performanc8 during the year . Our achievements in the year 2020 - 21 have been undeniably influenced by the pandemic .The neutering policy was disrupted by reduced Veterinary access Veterinary practices We simply not able to do the volume of work due to Covid restrictions. .Emerg6ncy treatment and support was nevertheless given to needy cases as and when required . Cat neutering numbers were conslderably reduced - to 138 Fundraising depends upon public contact so jumble sales and shop income declined during those periods of lock down . During the year demand for cats and kittens Increased beyond availability . Advice . help and support contlnued despite the epidemic . As soon as restrictions lapsed our fundraising volunteers were back at work - though wearing masks . Concluslon. The Trustees of Lincoln Cat Care are satlsfied that desplte th8 influenc8 of Covid 1 Q . th• yaAr'É 2etivititao And Achiov•mant8 of our Charity Conform to our 8tat%*d aims and to the Charity Commission public benefft guidance .
