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.

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144121 of the Charities Act 2011
"the ACV'I and that an independent examinaiion is required.
It is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act,.
to follow the procedures lai(J down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under Section 14515llbl of the Act.. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the Eeneral Directions given by the Charitv
Commission. An examination include5 a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and è
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the account5, and seeking explanations from you as trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would
lje required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a
"true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention;
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements,.
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act,. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met, or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
