Charity No: 1150145

Annual Trustee Report to the Charity Commission For the year ending 30[th] September 2025

The Charities objects are to rescue abandoned, injured and homeless cats and kittens in Lincoln and the surrounding villages. Providing veterinary care, neutering and microchipping, being our priority, and any other treatment needed, with our ultimate aim of rehoming healthy animals, wherever possible.

We continue to remain positive, rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming cats into the right homes, after fending for themselves. We have also successfully rehomed 34 of our feral cats into outdoor environments, which is a fantastic achievement.

Whilst our Charity Store remains closed, for safety, until works are carried out to replace the floor, we continue fundraising with our jumble sales and any small outside events.

We are very grateful to our local community for their generosity in saleable donations and also appreciate the hard work of our volunteers.
