Public benefits

The benefit of our purpose to protect small domestic animals from abuse, neglect and distress by providing for their care and treatment in a safe environment with the aim to rehoming them: - Will be to promote compassion and empathy in the public. - will also give a sense of companionship and well-being to those recipients of the re-homed

animals. - will alleviate the stress, via our Matchmaking Service, of dog owners who need to rehome their dogs but are concerned about where they will end up and do not want to put them into kennels or pounds. - will support people in financial hardship by providing free pet food, via our Pet Food Bank Scheme, to enable them to hold onto their pets so they don’t have to endure the stress of seeing their animal suffer distress by being put into kennels or pounds. - will provide financial assistance, via our Project Wildcat, to people who have feral cats. This will take the form of covering the cost of neutering and supplying shelters for the cats The benefit will be seen through the feedback from the general public and the people who receive the re-homed animals and the people who benefit from our Matchmaking and Pet Food Bank schemes. Examples of positive feedback about our charity can already be viewed on our website. Scientific studies have already proven the beneficial and therapeutic effect of animal companionship. The purposes of our charity will not lead to harm. The charity’s beneficiaries are the public in general, the new owners and their families who take our animals and the recipients of free pet food via our Pet Food Bank Scheme and the recipients of the financial assistance offered to those who have feral cats throughout Northern Ireland. The private benefit flowing from this purpose is that vets will be paid to treat our animals and pet stores and other businesses will be paid for food and supplies and this is incidental and necessary because these items and services are essential to care for the animals adequately.

What your organisation does

7th Heaven Animal Rescue Trust: - provides a safe environment for abandoned, unwanted and abused small domestic animals, whilst operating a No Kill policy. - provides care and treatment, as necessary - pays for neutering of our rescued animals, if necessary - attempts to re-home the animals, or care for them indefinitely, if they cannot be

rehomed - provides free neutering, kennels and food, if required, for feral cats - runs a pet food bank scheme to provide free pet food for a limited period to people in financial difficulty. This will enable them to hold on to their pet, negating any possible distress of giving up their animal. - operates a free Canine Matchmaking Service to rehome dogs directly from home to home therefore preventing the animal undue stress, whilst also empowering the owner by giving them the choice to decide its new owner. We will advertise the animal to be homed, sift enquiries from potential owners and do a home check, if requested, whilst providing advice and support throughout the process.
