## FELINE NETWORK Cat Rescue ## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 – 2024** ## **CATS IN CARE** As of the 31[st] of May we had 17 cats in foster, of which 3 were permanent foster cats. ## **CATS REHOMED** During the year we rehomed 94 cats and kittens ranging in age from 12 weeks to 17 years old. Sadly 3 had to be PTS. ## **THE SHOP** The shop is now open Saturdays on a regular basis and this has increased our income. We currently have 17 part time volunteers. It was decided in January to apply to become VAT registered, which would enable us to take on our first paid member of shop staff. We took on a business coach in January, to help us further our reach, network and find ways to get more income, footfall and networking opportunities. Unfortunately, we have had a lot of maintenance, including remedial work re drains, a wall rebuilt due to consistent damp issues, new hot water heaters for the kitchen and toilet, and the cost of building a new managers office. We have also had 2 floods. ## **OTHER FUNDRAISING** We are now doing much more online selling. We have held a summer and Christmas fayre, as well as our annuam raffle and three auctions. ## FELINE NETWORK Cat Rescue ## **FACILITIES, FOSTERERS ETC.** We currently have 11 fosterer carers. We have purchased an indoor pen and have plans for 3 more in due course. ## **OUTREACH** This team continues to be busy, Moreso now the new microchipping regulations are in place. We have purchased 2 more scanners and another humane trap. ## **CHARITY GROWTH** We are now doing more networking, producing a monthly enewsletter, and attending events to raise money and awareness. We are approaching local businesses to be our charity partners or professional partners, and thus far are partnered with Kitty Kent Handmade, and Pet Remedy, who we look forward to working with in the future. ## **VOLUNTEERS** We continue to recruit volunteers for many roles, including fostering, shop assistants, and are also seeking someone to oversee outside events, and to assist with social media. We also hope to find someone who can do public speaking events for us in the future. For and on behalf of the trustees. Peter Hope, Maureen Hutchisson, Phil Baker, Helen Baker.
