Care for, vaccinate and neuter all cats in our care.

To have all cats in our care examined by a veterinarian
and microchipped.

To ensure all cats in our care receive any treatment they
require.

To locate the owners of any lost cats where possible

Scrutinise applications from members of the public who
wish to adopt one of the cats in our care. Carrying out
home checks and charging an adoption fee (a fee is
charged in part to cover the costs of vet fees but is
primarily charged at such a rate to establish that the
adopters have the funds to look after the cat).

To rehome the cats in our care with suitable adopter.
Members of the public are able to approach the rescue for help
with their own cat or a cat they are aware of that needs help.
This beneft is available to anyone but due to our limited space
and funds we are forced to work on a priority basis. However,
we do operate a waiting list process and can often help the cat
at a later date. A cat in need of any vet treatment will always be
given priority.| ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** March **2012** **TAR** 3 Our foster volunteers are vital to our operation. We operate a foster home-based care system for the animals in our care and rely on our foster volunteers to care for the animals within their own homes. You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## Section D Achievements and performance While the rescue primarily looks to rescue, care for and rehome **Summary of the main** abandoned cats, cats in need we are highly motivated to **achievements of the charity** educate the population on the need to neuter cats to help **during the year** reduce the number of unwanted / stray cats. During the year we were able to offer a reduced cost neutering scheme to encourage people to neuter their cats. With a huge boost to our funds in the year we were able to neuter a significant number of cats that would probably not have been neutered. The offer was open to anyone with no need to prove income levels. Overall making a good contribution to the reduction of the overpopulation of cats without homes or support. On average we rehomed 11 cats per month. In addition to neutering / microchipping and vaccinating, the cats in our care received any veterinary treatment they required to bring them back to health. Our vet costs for the year were nearly £70k which equated to approx. 80% of our total expenditure (excluding expenses) in the year. Prior to 2021-22 we only dealt with one vet practice, early in 2022 we set up accounts with an additional 2 practices. This made it easier to operate across our area and also helped the public by being able to offer a selection of venues for our neutering scheme. At the beginning of 2022 we applied for and were chosen as one of the Pets At Home Foundation community partners, connected to their Keighley store. This was a huge boost, not only as this would increase our donations of food and litter but also made us eligible for their Santa Paws Appeal which ran in December 2022. In the Summer of 2022, our Chair, Laura Westcough took part in interviews for a local newspaper and a local radio station to highlight the uphill struggle facing cat rescues in our local area. ## **Section E Financial review** March **2012** **TAR** 5 **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** The charity has a policy of restricting the activities of the charity if funds held fall below £1000. Thankfully due to our fantastic supporters this has not happened during the year. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** None ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; Our principal source of funds is. - Supporters’ donations - Fortnightly online auctions (all lots are donated by supporters) which run for around 11 months of the year (not operated between mid Dec and mid Jan - Fundraising activities such as local galas, markets where we are able to run a stall promoting the rescue and raising funds through activities such as tombolas / gift sales. - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** Ruth Brown **Full name(s)** Ruth Brown **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Treasurer **etc) Date** 4/2/2024 March **2012** **TAR** 6 ||**Charity Name**
