Again, this year the demand for help with strayldomestic cats has continued to grow. We are having an increasing number of owners asking us to take into care, domestic Cats that they are no longer able to rAre for. This is becoming a worrying tr8nd, where numbers are now higher than places availabl8. Our rehoming programme has grovm during year with a continued increase in the amount of cats and kittens we have homed, vthich we are hoping continues. We continued to offer help and advice lo the general public through direct contact and through our publications and social media. Our fundraising achievements and perfomiance serve to support and sustain the ¢haritiès main aciivities. Our charity shop being our main regular income has become very well supported by the local communtty and our support base for regular monetary and lor non-monetary donation to help towards veterinary costs and Caring for the catslkittens in our Gar8 has increased. We have successfully wn several appeal$ to raise funds to cover the cost of expensive, emergency and often lrfe-saving veterinary treatment for the catS1k￿enS in care.
