The main aclNits'es of the charity are: Admission of ts, rabbits and dS to f&ility (amhough we have mt aJmrtt&J any dcJs in this financHI year) Provision of high-qualty anirrol care tdh at the sancluary sile and in foster care Rehoming the animals admitted to our care • AdvanGing animal welfare arKI educatb)n in our kKal communty and teyond. The Trustees have hay regard to the Charity ComffthssKm's gUKlan on publtc beneft A¢hlevemgnts and perfornmn Due to Covid restrictions we operated at reduced staff levets as the srte was not open to the public. Only anim21 care staff were on site with Offi staff being placed on furbugh. As soon as resthctions were lffted, we brought fijrloughed staff bxk lo woth. No addthnal animais were admitted during this period. As stsndard proc&Jure we (zny out home Checks on all potential adopters, ensuring they understand the moral and financial responsibilrties invofved in owning an animal. Environmental ¢xsndf(ions in the new home are assessed, and advi gwen regarding the surtabilty of ameniti.es provwjed. Rabbits that are rehomed as house rabbits must have sufficient safe space in whth to play or have a huteh and run that meets our minimum size requirements. We also rehome rabbits to Irve in pairs ¢Jutdoors and the same applies to indoor rehoming where p)ssibEe. Following evidence presented by the Assc¢k8tion of Dogs and Cat Homes and consideration by the Board of Trustees we have now adopted the policy that cats may be rehord next to busy roads in suitable c1uMStanceS. Previousty we dbj not albw adoption on this basis under any circurrtstances Any home checks undertaken are time<ongJming. but essential in order to ensure that the right animal goes to the right home and owner. resutting in fthver rehoming failures. The ongoing welfare of all rehomed anima15 is paranTh)unt, and folFow-up phone calls {and home visits rf requirgj) form an integral part of our hOMIng policy. All rehomed animals (apart from a very small nurrthr of ]tten$. due to age} are fully vaccinated, spayedlneuter8d, and micrClpped prnr to IK)ming. Animals also have four weeks. free Petplan pet insurance included as part of their adoption. The charity gets a commissKJn on any policies that are then continued after these four weeks by the new (ywners. Our adopters remain in contact with us, letting us know how the animals have settled into their new hcrfrES. and alerting us to any probrnS or concems.
