COUNTRY CAT SHELTER 

We continued to provide sanctuaries for the care and protection of cats and kittens and to place unwanted animals with new owners. We also continued to provide financial assistance for veterinary treatment for those who could not afford it.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 36 years
