COVENTRY CAT GROUP 

We help, care for the welfare and improve the quality of life of abandoned or feral cats in and around Coventry. We respond to calls for help when we are told cats and/or kittens are apparently abandoned living in gardens or on the highway, or surviving rough as ferals and endeavour to improve their quality of life.Volunteers and helpers are always welcome to join us.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
Established: 27 years
