Annual Actvity Report
Over the past year, Little Paws Rescue has continued to grow, helping around 350 cats through abandonment, neglect, owner surrender & emergency welfare cases. Despite rising costs & increasing demand, we remained committed to providing high-quality care, treatment & rehoming opportunities for every cat.
Veterinary expenses averaged over £5,000 per month, covering routine & emergency care, neutering, vaccinations, diagnostics & ongoing medical treatment. We continued to ensure every cat received the support needed for a healthy future.
A key achievement this year was the opening of our charity shop, which has provided vital income & increased awareness of our work within the community. We are incredibly grateful to our volunteers, foster carers, donators, adopters & supporters, whose dedication makes our work possible.
Looking ahead, securing larger premises is a priority, allowing us to expand our capacity & help even more cats in need.
Tracey Bryant, Director & Trustee, 2025
