SOCIETY FOR ABANDONED ANIMALS
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Trustees have pleasure in subrntttrng the ReF•Jt arnj PLcxJunts for the year. The peric*J covered by this
reF)Ort is 1 April 2020 10 31 March 2021
Oblectlveg of th• ehorlty
The objectives of the charity are to provide shekr. food. veterinary attent#)n. o)mpanionship. and honEs for
animals abandoned by their owners.
The main aclNits'es of the charity are:
Admission of ￿ts, rabbits and d￿S to f&ility (amhough we have mt aJmrtt&J any dc*Js 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 rehor￿d next to busy roads in
suitable c1￿uMStanceS. 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 micrC￿lpped 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 prob￿rnS or concems. We accept
all animals back into the rescue sh￿jId they rnt settle or ff the ovmers. circumstances change.

The Board of Trustees wouhj like to thank Ix)th our o)rrmk sponsors and indwidual sponsors for their
contfnued supwrt and contribLrtion. VbÈ were especlalty proud to have been one of the Mayor of Trafford's
Chosen charities during the year.
We continue to work in collat*)ration other Char￿eS in order to deliver n￿)re pubFic benefft to animal
welfare, including Cats Protecth)n, t)og5 Trus( Rabbrt Welfare AS￿iation and Fund. Association of Dog and
Cat Homes, Support Adoption for Pets, arKI the RSPCA.
In the 202012021 year the Board of Trustees took the drf￿1t deosh)n to dose the rescue and rehome all
animals to enable building works to be undertaken. Due to the level ofwork undertaken rt was conS￿ered best
practs'ce to offer redundancy to all staff. As a result of this the rescue closed on 19 October 2021. Our feral
colony ￿maIned on srte and were duty ￿red for by bngstanding volunteers and we express our thanks for
their dedication and r￿mitment n ￿ring for our animals.
