Lancaster And Morecambe Cat Rescue Registration No. 1190812 Trustees Annual Report Year Ending 10 June 2024 Preamble This is the charities, fourth year of operation, and it continues to be very successful in achieving its goals. Many have continued to support us during the year, and this has created much needed funds, as veterinary charges increase dramatically. All monies are used for the charitable welfare of cats and kittens, including medication / equipment needed to perform our activities. We had during the year 42 unpaid volunteers including the trustees and the treasurer. The charity bank details are as follows. Lloyds Business Account Lancaster and Morecambe Cat Rescue Sort Code 30-96-26 Account Number 73021568 Finances Most of our income continues to come from the high street shop and is generated by direct donations to the bank account. We have also have a dedicated volunteer who sells items donated via eBay. Much of our income is received in the form of rehoming fees of £70 per cat or Kitten and does not cover the cost of veterinary care they
receive before being rehomed. Veterinary charge5 have again increased greatly. Most of our expenses (£36,000) went with this. Our Mission Remains For the public benefit in the Lancaster and Morecambe and surrounding areas to promote humane behavior towards the feline community by providing the appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for cats in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or neglect, rehoming such cats to carefully checked homes. We continue to educate the public via talks at selected venues on matters pertaining to responsible cat ownership and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among cats. The Year During the reporting period the Lancaster and Morecambe Cat Rescue Charity has helped cats and kittens in need throughout Lancaster and Morecambe plus surrounding area5. This included injured, stray and unwanted cats / kittens and has provided medical help, rehabilitation and ultimately rehoming to good new homes. We have responded to the public's calls to our manned helpline for help with all cats /kittens that they may be concerned about, be it domestic or feral animals. Our team meet and discuss the information gathered regarding cats / kittens and set out a course of action. We also give advice on neutering cats which is essential in keeping unwanted animals from suffering. Advice on where to obtain neutering vouchers is also given. We do not veterinar so. bills to the ublic and cannot afford to do Many stray / feral cats have been humanely trapped by the charity
using safe cat traps. If still feral after a period of trying to tame them they are neutered / spayed and released into a known safe area near to where they were found, the ears are slightly clipped by the vets to indicate that that they have been neutered / spayed. All cats that are brought to our attention are scanned for a microchip and owners contacted where there is a microchip, however many owners do not keep their details up to date with the microchip companies and we must rehome them (After advertising the lost cat for two weeks), The mlcrochip details are then updated with the microchip company. All cats receive veterinary checks and are microchipped, de fleaed and wormed when brought into our care. All rehomed cats are vaccinated, de fleaed, wormed and microchipped and they will have been neutered / spayed if old enough. The charity has rehomed some 200+ cats in the reporting period The future In September 2022 we opened a new charity shop in Morecambe to bring in much needed funds to pay our veterinary costs, which average £3000 per month. The charity is finding it extremely difficult to attratt new volunteers, especially the younger generatioft. We continue to advertise for volunteers. Signed Eileen Evans IBEM) Trustee Date: 04106124
