Other ## 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 successfully continued 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
our care for treatment and then
rehomed to suitable locations where
they will be care for.
We have continued to receive a marked
increase in stray domestic/feral cats
requiring either neutering and/or vet
treatment during the year which has
put increased pressure on the
charities resources.
Our rehoming programme has continued
to be successful, mainly due to
advertising on our social media sites
and recommendations from previous
adopters’.
We have continued offering help and
advice to the general public through
direct contact and through our
publications and social media.
Our fundraising achievements and
performance serve to support and
sustain the charities main activities.
Our charity shop being our main
regular income has become very well
supported by the local community and
our support base for regular monetary
and /or non-monetary donation to help
towards veterinary costs and caring
for the cats/kittens in our care has
increased.
We have successfully run several
appeals to raise funds to cover the
cost of expensive, emergency and often
life-saving veterinary treatment for
the cats/kittens in care.|| |---|---|---|---| ## Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against objectives set ||Para 1.41|| |---|---|---| |Performance of
