Our volunteers and fosterers are vital

Contribution made by coordinator is skilled at getting the
volunteers very best from each volunteer and
will spot their differing strengths.
There is a core group who are
**----- End of picture text -----**
involved in the day to day feeding, cleaning and general care of the cats, overarched by a group of experienced volunteers who concentrate on the welfare & health of each animal. There is an assigned welfare supervisor for each day to ensure all felines in our care are healthy. There are volunteers whose strengths lie in the more administrative side of the charity - media, answering telephones and messages on line and there is another group who dedicate their time to fundraising - manning stalls and promotional events around the area. They are all given advice and training by our very experienced Coordinator and officers, who are always on call. There is another group of volunteers who are responsible for the homing of the cats. Within this we have undertaking home checks, educated the public on the introduction and care of the cat they bring home and the paper work when homing the cats and kittens. We also have a group of volunteers who operate our social media – Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Here we are able to promote our rehoming service and continue to educate the public across the whole country on key topics such as the importance of spaying and neutering, FIV cats etc Another group of volunteers are part of our fundraising team. They often work alongside our social media teams to launch fundraisers and drum up support. Our previously developed transport team continues to work with strength. This team is made up of volunteers who are able to collect cats from outside our regular locations as we build relationships with rescues further afield. They are made aware of the objectives and aims in relation to the benefits to the public in accordance with the Charity Commission's Guidelines.

All of this has been done to ensure

ensuring the welfare of the cats
remains at our usual high standards.
We are constantly working at
improving our administration and

has allowed us to rescue and home
cats effectively and efficiently.
**----- End of picture text -----**
Care is taken with the induction of new volunteers so that any reservations or problems are covered; helping them feel confident in the knowledge of what is expected and also not to be afraid to ask for any advice or help. We have also been part of the Duke of Edinburgh scheme. The co-Ordinator for this inducts the D of E students and promptly completes their reviews. These students have been able to develop a range of personal skills along with effectively working in cat rescue. However, since March 2020 we have removed our D of E volunteers to ensure their safety amid COVID-19 and have sustained this throughout this year. Our fundraising has continued to evolve this year as we have not been able to hold as many events. We have focussed more of our efforts in to social media campaigns such as ‘Donate £1 day’, a monthly lottery and pleas as and when we have had emergency cases. The welfare of each animal continues, all cats are homed after being vet checked, vaccinated, flead and wormed with 4 weeks free PetPlan insurance. We have been holding ring-fenced legacy funds for a permanent premise which we have been successful with finding this year. Contracts are yet to be exchanged though we are confident this will go through and next year we will be able to move to a premise we own outright which will give a more secure and purpose-built centre. This year we established a new policy to microchip all cats and kittens that come in to our care (unless already chipped). We have chosen to do this to minimise the chances of lost animals not being returned to their home with the appropriate owner. We have also worked alongside our partner vets to amend our spay and neuter policy. We are now spay and neutering from 5 months rather than 6 months. In doing this, we hope to continue to take all precautions against unwanted pregnancies, reducing the chances of spreading FIV etc ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: **----- Start of picture text -----**
