Cats Protection have continued assisted us with funding the neutering of feral cats and kittens. We also have a good working relationships with Spaywatch charity in Peterborough who fund the shortfall in our neutering requirement. They have also assisted us with costs for combination flea and worm treatment which has also resulted in a reduced spend on essential parasite treatments.
Working relationships with Wood Green Animal Shelters and Cat Welfare Wisbech have resulted in the trapping, intake and rehoming of a large number of cats and kittens. It is essential to the continued future that this continues as without their support we would be unable to rescue or take in as many felines as we do, this due to lack of accommodation pen space and costs associated with the prolonged holding of cats.

Section D Achievements and erformance p
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
This year has proven to be another busy year with requests for help far exceeding assistance that we have been able to provide.
Due to very little donations during this reporting year and a very poor and a very poor year for donations compared to the previous years. We have continued with the decision to cease accommodating unwell cats on site.
Any unwell cats we are alerted to were taken directly to the vets and either treated and returned or rehomed or if unwell were accommodated by our established volunteers in their own homes until the cats were either rehomed if domesticated or returned to site if feral.
The trustees at the last meeting of the reporting year made the decision to significantly reduce rescue activity. More focus will be on supporting other rescues.
We have found that this has been a worthwhile way of both continuing to function in a much reduced way whilst also still assisting with the recovery of stray and feral cats in the community and supporting fellow rescues in this period of uncertainty.
We continue to work alongside other rescues who remain actively recovering strays and will maintain this approach for the foreseeable future.
