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	We have been successfully continuing our programme of trap, neuter, and were possible return, of feral cat colonies within our local area. Where it has not been possible to return cats because of illness or unsuitable location they have been brought into the rescue for treatment and rehoming. We have also noticing a marked increase in stray domestic cats requiring either neutering and/or vet treatment during the year. Our rehoming agenda has been very successful many due to our social media sites. We have offered help and advice to the general public through direct contact and through our publications and social media.
