Para 1.20 | Challenges and successes Cost of Living This 12 month period has continued to see a reduction in adoptions leading to less capacity to bring in cats in need. This appears to be due to the increase in the cost of living, with people forced to budget accordingly. This pressure has also led to an increase in cats being surrendered creating a perfect storm for most rescues we are in contact with and together with our reduction in foster space it has made this period extremely challenging. We have less fosterers with less interest in becoming fosterers and our waitlist continues to grow. Cats are with us for longer as people are reluctant to adopt and add extra costs to their families. It is a crisis situation and the cats are the ones who are suffering. Chip Day Success! Following the announcement it was to become law that all cats should be microchipped, we ran a free microchipping day at one of our vets where people would also receive a care package of everyday essentials. We chipped 43 cats, identifying a number of cats who required neutering and supporting owners to book them in for their procedure. All chips were registered and nail clips, reduced flea and worm treatment plus 4 weeks free insurance was offered to all owners. Development of Charity As stated last year, we had identified a plot of land with a view to purchase which we went ahead with. Sadly, we have yet to acquire planning permission and this is becoming a much more drawn-out process than we imagined, and more than the Local Authority timescales would have us believe. We are proactively chasing up our application with the support of our planning consultants and hope for a resolution in the coming months. In the meantime, we are looking to stabilise up the income of the rescue further by renting a premises for a charity shop. Currently we have a storage unit which is becoming overloaded with donations and we have limited platforms to sell items on to our supporters. We have identified a property which is similar in rental cost to the unit and although will require an onsite volunteer presence, will enable a throughput of |
donations and engagement with the public. We are also able to take advantage of the council’s support to charities in respect of business rates. We hope to be able to pay a part time wage to one of our volunteers in order to run the shop and carry out some of the day-to-day tasks of running the rescue, particularly as we look to expand onto the purchased land and will explore this fully. Fundraising Team Our fundraising team have continued to be the backbone of the rescue, making what we do for the cats, possible. From the CommUnity Corner Pop Up shops featuring Custard, our mascot, to our Pets at Home partnership and our amazing raffles, they work tirelessly and we are so grateful to them. They attended a ‘Ripple Event’ at CommUnity Corner this year where they looked at how their involvement with the organisation as had a ripple effect across the wider community, sharing our story and hearing the stories of others. It was a really powerful event and wonderful to hear how everyone’s input has reached so many lives. We have begun fundraising on an online selling platform which has brought in a whole new fundraising stream and introduced us to a new community of wonderfully supportive people. It is early days but we will see how this goes – hopefully it will be an avenue to move stock from the shop once we are up and running!

| Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | We are working towards our new objectives of building our own rescue and not for profit cattery. |
| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | Fundraising has remained the main source of income for the charity. Fundraising has gone from strength to strength and the rescue is now receiving regular income that is able to meet its costs. With the identification of a premises for a shop this will hopefully improve further in 2025/6. |
| Fundraising has been adequate to meet the objectives of the charity as set out in the Governing Document and Business Plan |

Financial Review

|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | The charity has had an income of £98,664 in the reporting period with expenditure including administration costs of £74,528. The operating profit was therefore £24,136 |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The Cat’s Guidance Reserves Policy is to maintain sufficient level of reserves to enable normal operating activities to continue over a period of up to 6 months should a shortfall in income occur and to take account of potential risks and contingencies that may arise from time to time. It remains a challenge to hold sufficient reserves in a climate of increasing costs due to the demand for rescue and rising costs. |

| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | Nil at time of report although access to adequate long-term funding remains a concern and challenge. However, the support of the charity’s followers built on the established reputation means the situation in this reporting period was stable. |
Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:
| The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising) |
Para 1.47 | Fundraising continues to be primary source of income. We have seen a reduction in income in this financial year – we had anticipated being able to apply for grants to build our rescue premises so did not approach organisations for other support, knowing they would only support every 12 months. However, our progress in building the rescue has been delayed. The shortfall in funds represents the lack of larger grants such as the £10k received from Pets at Home last financial year. |

| Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted |
Para 1.46 | N/A |
| A description of the principal risks facing the charity |
Para 1.46 | 1. Consistent funding continues to be a concern, enabling us to bring in new cats who need our help and care for those already under our care including those adopted but with ongoing medical needs. We monitor this carefully and do not go into debt with our vets – every bill is paid on receipt and we monitor our reserves and account balance and adjust our intake accordingly. 2. We appreciate the risk of purchasing land that currently sits within Green Belt and in order to mitigate this risk, enlisted the services of a local planning company who know the area well, including previous planning decisions, prior to going ahead with the purchase. The land is perfectly located for the rescue and we are hopeful for support from the local planning department. The land remains a profitable investment for the rescue. All decisions were made in consultation with the Trustees and involved the fundraising team leads who have been so instrumental in us being in a position to purchase the land. 3. An additional risk now is the delay in receiving a decision from the Local Authority Planning Department with respect to our Planning Application, as this is setting us back significantly in terms of our Business Plan. We receive multiple requests for support daily and have no option but to turn them away which is heart-breaking for all involved. 4. Rescue space continues to be a challenge for ourselves and most rescues. We are not able to help as many cats as we would like due to a lack of fosterers and a lack of the type of space required to care for certain cats needing space i.e. cats who require isolation, feral cats etc. This links to risk number 2 above. 5. Irresponsible pet ownership and lack of education/interest in neutering remain among the biggest risks to animal rescues as the outcomes of both place a huge drain on our resources. Whilst we are here to support animals in need, we do not have the resource required to meet the scale of risk posed by the aforementioned groups and cats are suffering. |
