Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of domestic species of rodents and rabbits in need of care and attention, in particular, to provide and maintain rescue homes or other facilities for the reception, care and treatment of such animals.

TAR

The charity has taken in rodents and rabbits from members of the public who needed to rehome their animals for various reasons including financial issues, health problems, relocations, work commitments, or general inability to care for the animals (often as a result of a lack of research carried out prior to obtaining the animal).

We have also worked with other rescues to provide rescue space for rodents or rabbits where large numbers have been surrendered to national rescue groups such as the RSPCA or One Bun at a Time. These have largely been cases where breeding Summary of the main has been allowed to occur to uncontrollable levels and caused a activities undertaken for serious welfare issue for the animals involved. the public benefit in relation to these objects In particular, alongside other rescues, we have provided rescue (include within this space for a large number of mice where the owner had initially section the statutory purchased two mis-sexed mice who then quickly produced many declaration that trustees generations of offspring, resulting in over 100 mice within one have had regard to the household. This has been a repeated occurrence during this guidance issued by the reporting period and should not go unnoticed as a serious Charity Commission on animal welfare issue caused by a lack of care and attention of public benefit)

In particular, alongside other rescues, we have provided rescue space for a large number of mice where the owner had initially purchased two mis-sexed mice who then quickly produced many generations of offspring, resulting in over 100 mice within one household. This has been a repeated occurrence during this reporting period and should not go unnoticed as a serious animal welfare issue caused by a lack of care and attention of businesses/individuals selling rodents.

There is a very high demand from the public for the charity’s assistance with rodents and rabbits. We receive requests to take in animals almost daily, and always hold a waiting list of animals requiring rescue space. Where we are unable to assist immediately we signpost to other rescues, however we are very aware that the demand vastly exceeds the capacity of rescues in the area.

Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

*The main cause of death of animals in the charity’s care was ill health (including where animals were euthanised on the advice of a veterinary surgeon due to untreatable illness). 3 mice passed away during routine castration, likely due to underlying/congenital issues caused by inbreeding.

**5 rats remained in our care as long-term sanctuary residents due to chronic health issues which resulted in the rats requiring ongoing treatment and special care, including heart disease and recurring, contagious abscesses.
