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.

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.
