For the period ending l December 2025
Risk Mana
ement:
The major risks, to which the charity is expo*d, as identified by the Trustees, have been
reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. All systems and
procedures are reviewed regularly to ensure they meet charity law and our own
organisations aims and objectives.
Objectives and Activities
The charity's object is:
"For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of cats and kittens in need of care and
attention in areas of South Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and Lincolnshire, in particular by
providing and maintaining rescue homes and other facilities for the reception, care,
treatment and rehoming of such animals."
Main ob"ectives for the followin
ear:
In shaping our objectives for the following year and planning our activities, the Trustees
have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and this is regularly ￿-
visited.
The charity provides help in the local community to tho* people needing to re-home their
cats, taking in stray cats handed in to the vets or r(iaming in the local community, and for
those looking to adopt a cat. We also run a trap, neuter, retum scheme for feral cats located
in the area.

Trustees Annual Report
For the period ending l December 2025
Achievements and Performance
We are pleased to report that during the period from December 2024 to December 2025, we
rehomed 70 cats, and 93 cats came into care. The rehoming numbers are slightly down on last year
and the number coming into care is higher. We also have a long waiting list for cats needing to come
into care, and we have found that this seems to be the case for all the local cat charities with whom
we have formed mutual working relationships. For the first time, we made a decision to limit the
intske distance (from 18 miles down to 15 miles radius of the address of the charity) due to the
number of cats on the waiting list. This still covers areas within North knncolnshire, Lincolnshire and
South Yorkshire. We are trialling this for six months. The number of reasons cats need to come into
care varies, and although we would love to ￿SpOnd to every request, we do have to prioritise.
Priority cases ￿sCUed include:
Cats and litters rescued from unsuitable locationslconditions, often neglected, and at risk of
further cruelty or harm.
Cats whose owners had sadly died or gone into care, often leaving elderty pets that are left
homeless.
Catslkittens handed in or abandoned at local vet practices.
Stray or feral pregnant cats or cats with kittens.
Stray or unwanted cats & kittens, reported to U5 by concerned members of the public.
During 24125 we continued to develop our fundraising streams, and we thank our hard worknng
volunteer5 for their continued support at all events. There has been an increase in subscribers to our
monthly online newsletter. Most of our sponsors have renewed their pen sponsorship, and we are
delighted to have welcomed some new sponsors. We continue with our donation boxes in local shops,
tskeaways and pubs, theme nights, bingo nights (no monetary prizes), car boot sales, and coffee
morning at the local Church. We have also continued with local Christmas events and summer shows
and have attended some new venues this year which proved to be very successfvl.
As a purely volunteer led rescue, we are indebted to all our volunteers for their hard work in ensuring
the cats and kittens receive the best possible care when they are with us, and the many donations of
food, blankets, toys, and litter. We are also privileged to have some very talented volunteers who
craft items for sale, prepare beautifully presented raffle hampers and prizes, and make props and
games for our summer shows
The display cabinet for Axholme Cat Rescue at a local antiques centre is superf)ly organised and run
by one of our volunteers with expert knowledge and experience of vintsge and antique items. This
proved so successful in 2025 that we have now requested an additional cabinet t£) be placed at the
side of our current cabinet so that more items can be displayed. This is cheaper than one larger
cabinet. All proceeds go to the rescue.

Axholme Cat Rescue
Charity No: 1202639
Trustees Annual Report
For the period ending l December 2025
As a charity, we receive support from Pet Plan, Whiskas Adoption Mission and the Pets at Home VIP
club. This helps with food costs and items such as toys, beds and blankets. The Charity is still a
member of the ADCH and continues to contribute and adhere to their standards.
We continue to work within the local community to control and manage the feral cat population. We
trap, neuter and return (TNR) feral cats to site wherever possible. We work with a variety of sites,
including farms, stables, skip hi￿ yards, and industrial estates.
Charity improvements
The charity is committed to maintaining and building relationships with our local veterinary practices.
The high levels of expertise and care provided by our vets help us ensure a high level of cat welfare
standards. We are expanding the number of vet practices we use to ensure our cats r￿1ve the most
appropriate specialist care for their needs. One of these practices, Arundell Vet Care, helped to raise
£783.46 for our charity after completing a bike-a-thoni cycling IOOkm in 10 hours on an exercise
bike. They also hosted an open day of a new branch in CarcrotL Doncaster and chose to support
Axholme Cat Rescue, raising £307.40. We are so grateful for their support. It also raises the profile of
the charity and enhances our local reputation as an ethical cat rescue.
The number of members joining our Facebook group has increased Significantly and continues to be
an important channel to engage with supporters and help rehome our rescued cats. We would still
like to have a website to reach a wider group of people, with the aim of increasing rehorning and
providing infomiation about our work. We did apply for a grant to fund the set-up of a website but
unfortunately this was unsuccessful. We will continue to work on this in the coming year.
We were delighted to receive a grant from the Pets Foundation of £3,535. This generous funding
included £3,150 towards our vet bills and £385 to replace and purchase vitsl equipment. This enabled
LIS to purchase additional cages to support the transfer of feral cats and sick cats. This includes an
extra-large carrier, hospitalisation carrier, queen carrier and replacement rods for security.
We had two home foster carers and are now pleased to announce that we have a third home
fosterer. This is specifically for adult cats, and once the cat has had 0 Short setuing in period, they
have access to the full home. The new foster carer has now fostered and successfully rehomed five
cats.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Members of Axholme Cat Rescue
I report on the accounts of Axholme Cat Rescue for the period ending l December 2025,
which are set out on pages 10 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144 of the
Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Att) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Att,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Att, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosu￿S in the accounts, and seeking explanation5
from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all the evidence that would be ￿qUired in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as
to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, view and the report is limited to those
matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which
gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in accordance with settion 130 of the Charities Act or
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention
should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
