**Commission on public benefit)**|We are dedicated to reducing the street cat and dog population through
our spay and neuter programmes to prevent unwanted cats and dogs of
tomorrow.
We aim to transform the quality of life for street cats and dogs by helping
neglected, abandoned and abused street cats and dogs via partnerships
with on the ground volunteers providing food, medical treatment, fostering,
boarding and finding loving forever homes in the UK, USA, Canada and
Europe.
**We achieve our mission by:**
**Grants**- Support volunteers on the ground by making donations enabling
them to provide food, water, treat and protect animals in their
communities.
We supply pet food to volunteers to feed animals dumped in the
mountains and remote areas where animals are left to die of starvation.
**Spay/Neuter**- Actively promoting and organising spay and neuter to help
reduce street animal population.
We educate and promote the benefits of spay and neuter to deal with the
root cause of street animal population. We support and enable on the
ground volunteers in their spay and neuter efforts by partnering with local
veterinarians.
**Protection**- Rescue cats and dogs from neglect, abuse, cruelty and
abandonment. We provide veterinary care, security and a safe
environment for those in need of protection.
**Treatment**- Funding life saving treatment for the sick or injured cats and
dogs and subsequently finding loving homes.
All animals that come into our care are tested for a variety of illnesses,
vaccinated, wormed and spayed or neutered.
The Trustees have given careful consideration to, and complied with, the
Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
We believe that street cats and dogs treated with kindness and
appropriate care, protection and shelter should be given.
We provide public benefit by:
-
Treating injured and sick street animals helps to control the
incidence and spread of disease and suffering through appropriate
treatment and vaccination benefiting both human and animal
health.
-
Helping to reduce street animal population by spaying and
neutering
-
Providing volunteering opportunities for those who wish to support
our work including people who feed cats and dogs on the ground,
fostering or organise transportation
-
Provision of cat and dog food supplies to those who wish to feed
animals in their communities
-
Promoting benefits of spaying and neutering in Turkey to help
reduce street animal numbers| |---|---| **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** March **2012** **TAR** 3 You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: We only provide grants to volunteers who are actively promoting and advocating benefits of spay and neuter. - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** We managed to just break even in the last financial period. Donations from the members of the public continued to decrease. This means having to prioritise how we use the funds in an effective and efficient way. In order of priority, food comes first as it’s difficult to see hungry cat and dogs on the street, treating injured and sick ones to alleviate suffering and spay and neuter to help reduce street animal population. In this period, we have homed 14 cats and 10 dogs in the UK, Europe, Canada and the USA. We give priority to those animals who would not survive in the streets for long, for example blind, missing limbs, deafness or those who have suffered horrendous cruelty or abuse and we want to give them a chance. We have continued to focus on spay and neutering working with the local veterinarians. One of the highlights of the year was receiving a grant for £5,000 to purchase a vehicle to enable transportation of more dogs from and to vets. Having the vehicle also meant that we can reach areas no other charities go to - villages need the most help in terms of TNR and educating people about the benefits of spay and neutering. With that in mind we’ve targeted improvised communities mainly villages for our spay and neutering efforts. We’ve spayed and neutered - 21 females and 4 males cats, 30 female and 10 male dogs. We prioritise female cats and dogs for effectiveness and cost efficiencies. We’ve also fundraised to build more shelters for the dogs before the winter. We’ve purchased timber and ironmongery to build modular ourselves to save money on labour. These shelters can house up to 50 dogs especially when the whole region is hit with heavy snow and -10 degrees temperatures. We also built feeding stations with covers on to prevent food getting wet or ruined as well as water tanks to supply water rather than having to transport on a regular basis. The price rises for pet food, transportation and veterinary care costs in Turkey meant that we were getting less for our money. We are having to shop around more and asking restaurants and shops to donate their leftover food to feed the cats and dogs on the streets and those dumped in the mountains or roadside. March **2012** **TAR** 4 Despite the challenges, we are making a huge direct impact helping to alleviate suffering of street cats and dogs, spaying and neutering as many as we can to reduce population as well as educate people about the benefits of spay and neuter. The only long term solution is to prevent multiplication of animals in the first place. We are incredibly lucky to have dedicated volunteers who go above and beyond helping us make difference to the lives of street cats and dogs. ## Section E Financial review The aim of the charity is to ensure that the charity’s ongoing and future **Brief statement of the** activities are reasonably protected from unexpected variances in its **charity’s policy on reserves** income and expenditure. We aim to keep a minimum level of unrestricted general fund, currently set at £500. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## Section F Other optional information March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## Section G Declaration ## **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** ## **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** |
