Lincoln Cat Care CC reg No 1114359
Aims and objectives .
Lincoln Cat Care is a small charity concerned with 'any and all, cat welfare
issues in the vicinity of Lincoln and Newark . It was conceived in 2004 and was
granted charitable status on 28th December 2005 . In the governing document
the 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 AThENTION 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 consequence of poor or
absent feline welfare is worrying 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 existence are captured and , where
possible found a stable environment to live in . Population dynamics in cat
society makes neutering advisable and cost effective Our policy is to facilitate
feline neutering at an early age thereby reducing numbers of unwanted cats and
kittens . We believe helping 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 cat8 With a tiny proportion only used to run the Gharity .
Rehoming is frequently requested but it presents problems for our Charity ,
depending as it does on the limited capacity 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 their 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 .Liiicoln Cat Care 's continued success relies on
the kindness and hard work of its members and donors . as well as its reputation

for 'always being there, . We cannot always help but we try to do the best we
can . Fortunately the period of Covid did not lead to loss of interest and Lincoln
Cat Care has rnaintained its following though we always have -need of more
voluntary help - for example :_
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 committee which attends to the day to day
matters and a Trustees committee to oversee the business . With the relaxation of
Covid 19 restrictions this year we have returned to a normal frequency for
meetings .
The Trustees board numbers 8 members (as of December 2022)
Performance during the year .
Our achievements in the year 2021- 22 have been less influenced by the
pandemic than last . The neutering policy , disrupted by reduced Veterinary
access, is back on track but the reduced veterinary neutering input has had dire
affects on kitten numbers (2022-23) . The cat neutering scheme increased from
138 entires (2020- 21) to 432 (20 21-22} . Ltncoln Cat Care paid for 1112
Veterinary procedures in 2022.Emergency veterinary treatment and support to
needy cases has been given throughout the Covid and post-covid period as
and when required .
Fundraising , afflicted as it was by the lockdown in 20-21, Improved and the
Income stream from the Charity shop and jumble sales has b￿n good thanks to
our loyal volunteers and generous donors of clothes and brlc a brac
During the year demand for cats and kittens reduced (unlike 20-21) leading to
increased demand on our fostering capabilities . Advice , help and support has
always been available via the helpline .
Considerations for the future of Lincoln Cat Care .
The Trustees are aware of our dependence on our volunteers and the importance
of new members joining the team . With the likely likely mandatory feline
microchip legislation in 2024 there may be increased pressures on the Charity . We
have always supported effective identrfication systems as part of good pet
ownership and hope the changes will improve cat welfare .
Conclusion.
The Trustees of Lincoln Cat Care are satisfied that the year's activlties and
achievements of our Charity conform to our stated aims and to the Charity
Commission public benefit guidance.
