Trustees: Marion Parsons Chairperson Michael Longmore Treasurer Lesley Hawkins Secretary Trustee selection: Managing trustee
Type of governing document: Trust deed dated 19/11/2016 Charity constituted: As a trust
Objectives and activities:
For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of cats in need of care and attention, and, in particular, to provide and maintain rescue homes or other facilities for the reception, care and treatment of such cats.
To promote humane behaviour towards cats by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for cats which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill-usage and to educate the public in matters pertaining to cat welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among cats.
We would achieve these objects by offering shelter or sanctuary for cats which are in need of medical attention, proving medical treatment for cats; actively seeking homes for "rescued" cats .
Summary of achievements:
The year 2020 has been a challenging year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We have however managed to rehome more cats this year than last whilst still following the Government Rules. We took in 244 cats and rehomed 267 – all cats are neutered (except kittens) before rehoming. The special sanctuary for older cats has averaged about 25 throughout the year. This is very well received by people wishing for their older cats to be lovingly looked after. We operate a “no kill” policy unless the cats are suffering. We take in cats from various sources helping the public in many ways. Some of the cats are brought to us because their owners are elderly and have to go into a care home or die, people have to move and their new land lord does not allow pets, strays that come from the vets or the general public and many other reasons. We have made a number of improvements through the year including the installation of a double pen with runs. The covered area has been increased and a large section renewed to a much higher standard.
Rehoming is achieved via our web page, Facebook and personal recommendation. Funding comes from donations, legacies and fund-raising events.
Financial review:
We believe our reserves are ample to continue the rescue at its present level and anticipate that donations and fund raising will be maintained.
Declaration:
The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees report above.
