Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 01/09/204 Period start date To 31/08/205 Period end date

Charity name: Cats in Need Menorca

Charity registration number: 1161878

Objectives and Activities Caring for street cats in Menorca by trapping and neutering

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 To relieve the suffering of cats in
Menorca by trapping, neutering and
where possible returning to where they
were caught.
To provide veterinary care for the sick
and injured.
Provide and maintain feeding stations
throughout the island.
Working with the locals to control, in a
humane way, the cat population to
prevent unwanted kittens being born
and therefore unnecessary suffering.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 Our main activities are trapping and
neutering along with caring for the sick
and often injured cats in traffic
accidents.
We work very hard to educate the locals
on the advantages of controlling the cat
population. Menorca is a holiday island
and we find that many holidaymakers
are very relieved to find the cats on the
island so well cared for. Of course this
encourages them to donate to the
Charity.
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 I confirm the trustees have regard for
the help and guidance given by the
Charities Commission for the benefit of
the public.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 The focus of our work has changed a
little over the last year.
We continue to neuter cats, with
continued support for basic neutering
from the Town Halls. Our own
established colonies, many of which are
now over 25 years old, are well
controlled with little neutering required.
However the cats are getting older with
many needing considerable veterinary
treatment, with dental treatment and ear
problems at the forefront. Our vet is
particularly skilled at providing dental
care.
We do frequently have to remove them
from their colonies and take them to our
homes so they can live out their
days in comfort and safety.
The colony cats on the whole adapt very
well to their new circumstances being
used to living with others.
It is a source of joy to our helpers to see
them settle in.
Apart from the usual kidney problems
we do lose a lot of cats with tumours.
The new Animal Welfare Bill, whilst in
theory is designed to protect the cats, in
practice can do just the opposite as vets
are now restricted in what medications
and treatments they can prescribe with
many more forms to be filled out and
expensive tests required to prove the
need for certain medications.

This can also delay treatment whilst permission is sought. The College of Veterinary surgeons in Spain has ongoing talks with the administration. Fundraising is more difficult by the year as fewer and fewer tourists come to the island. The new fence around the house and garden is complete and has made a wonderful change to the grounds. Various sections can be closed off to provide different areas of isolation if required. We would like to be able to put a new roof on with some good shade.
