Objectives and activities

The object of the CIO is: for the public benefit in the East Midlands to promote humane behaviour towards cats by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for cats which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage, rehoming such cats where possible and to educate the public in matters pertaining to responsible cat ownership and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among cats.

Assisting in reducing the number of strays in the area.
Creating happiness in matching cats to the correct homes.
Educating the public on cat care.
Assisting rural land owners in keeping rodent control cats by allowing unsociable/feral cats to live there.

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit

Trapping stray cats

Roxie’s Rescue

Providing access to veterinary care and treatment.
Providing general advice to the public.
Rehoming suitable cats to thoroughly vetted homes.
Rehabilitating unsocialised cats back into society.

Summary of the main achievements during the period

This year we:

Rescued 142 cats total.
Rehomed a total of 113 cats and kittens to new homes.
We have maintained a steady income of funds including adoption fees and donations.
We have received multiple large funding grants allowing us to care for additional cats.
We have been financially able to keep on top of vet bills, caring for our cats in terms of food and also able to purchase necessary equipment required to assist us in carrying out our objects.
We have built a fantastic team of volunteers including between 20 - 23 different foster homes at any one time.
We have built up an incredible support network through social media.
We regularly go out into the community to scan cats for microchips (which sometimes allows them to be reunited with owners), to trap stray/homeless/injured cats, and to provide advice.
We are a Pets at Home Community Store Partner.
We work alongside The Pets Foundation to raise awareness for animal welfare.
We have a food donation box at Tesco Top Valley which provides a regular food source.

Financial review

We are extremely happy with how our finances are at the end of the period. We have a healthy reserve fund in addition to funds in the account available to purchase food, equipment and to pay for vet bills.

Financial risk

Our largest financial risk is that our vet bills will exceed our funds. We monitor our bills compared to our available funds throughout each month in hopes of avoiding this.

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 £2000 per month, therefore we aim to hold reserves of at least £2000, with a minimum reserve of £1000. If our average vet bills increase, we will review the policy and possibly look to increase the reserve amount.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Roxie’s Rescue (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
