ANNUAL REPORT 2024 FLAP

TRUSTEES, STATEMENT CATFLAP is an independent Glasgow-based charity dedicated to cat welfare, established in 1997, with the following aims.. To find suitable permanent homes for homeless cats To re-unite lost cats with their owners To provide short-term emergency accommodation for cats in need To assist with veterinary expenses in cases of genuine hardship To help achieve these aims, the Charity has several volunteer fosterers and a number of high quality pens installed at the home of one of the trustees in Bearsden. From the inception of CATFLAP, until the end of 2024, we have homed 4,683 cats and kittens, including 84 during the period covered by this report. CATFLAP conducts a preliminary home visit for every potential household prior to rehoming any of the cats in our care, and all CATFLAP cats undergo an examination by one of our partner vet practices as soon as practically possi ble. As well as any specitic veterinary treatment required, cats receive vaccinations and spot-on treatment for parasites, as well as being microchipped. Adoption fees at CATFL4P are on a sliding scale; kittens attract the highest fee, while older cats are rehomed at our lowest fee- this encourages the adoption of older/ elderly cats, who make great companions but are often overlooked by potential new owners.

No matter how long it takes to re-home any cat, CATFLAP maintains its"no- kill" policy, and we will only euthanize on the advice of a veterinary surgeon, where they believe the animal has no hope for quality of life. CATFLAP has no paid staff, and is operated entirely by volunteers, without whom we would not be able to carry on our work. Thanks must therefore go to all those members and friends who have given their time to staff fundraising events, to help out at the shelter, to collect and transport both cats and goods, to carry out home checks, etc. etc. Our gratitude also goes to those people who have donated - and continue to donate- cat food and goods from our Amazon wish-list to keep the cats fed and comfortable whilst they are in the shelter. Thanks also to the people who have contributed in any way to help CATFLAP achieve our aims during 2024. Signed, on behalf of the Trustees, TRUSTEES 2024 SCII21114

CHARITY ACTIVITIES Once again, 2024 proved to be a bumper year for kittens born at the shelter, all of whom have now gone on to find their forever homes, but not before they gave our shelter volunteers the runaround! Whenever possible, Carflap likes to attend in-person charity fund-raising events, with a stall brimming with new goods, home- made preserves, hand-crafted goods, and cat-themed itemsl Pictued is trustee at Milngavie Scout Hall. Generous in-kind donations from Carflap's supporters allow us to create luxurious themed hampers which can be sold or raffled to raise funds. Another popular fund-raiser is the Carflap ca lendar (right), featuring 12 pictures of Carflap kitties who found their forever homes in the preceding 12 months.
