Financial review We are happy with how our fInan￿S were at the end of the period. This has enabled us to have a healthy reserve fund in addition to funds in the account available to purchase food, equipment and to pay for vet bills. The charity's policy on reserves In order to protect the continuity of our work, reserves are held to cover costs of unexpected vet bills, for example, from taking in a stray cat who needs an emergency operation. Our vet bills average around £2,000 per month, therefore we aim to hold reserves of at least £2,000, with a minimum reserve of £1,000. If our average vet bills increase, we will review the policy and possibly look to increase the reserve amount. Signed on behalf of the charity's trustees..
