Public benefits
[What are the direct benefits flowing from your organisation's purposes?] Members of the public, specifically finders of stray cats or people with feral colonies will benefit from having a resource to assist with the financial stress of treatment of injured/sick or cats in need of neutering. Members of the public will have access to loan cat
carriers/traps and microchip scanners, or where available a volunteer with those items to assist with transport of cats to vets for treatment. Unwanted stray cats and kittens may have an option of being fostered until they are rehomed, rather than left on the street which may be perceived as causing a nuisance by the public. Education will encourage people to neuter, microchip and provide appropriate care for their cats, improving people's understandings of their cats behaviour and needs, reducing unwanted cats and kittens (thorugh unwanted litters). Public will benefit from having a reputable source to rehome cats to and adopt cats from. [How can the benefits identified above be demonstrated?] Fewer unwanted/stray cats and kittens. Fewer unwanted litters of kittens. Stable numbers of feral cats at feral colonies. People finding their lost cats, due to more cats being microchipped (education), and scanned for microchips by volunteers. [Is there any harm arising from any of the purposes?] Small risk of neutering/rehoming owned cats, but will be mitigated by advertising cats as found and scanning for microchips before neutering/rehoming. [Who are the charity's beneficiaries?] Cats, cat owners, general public. [Is there any private benefit flowing from any of the purposes? Is it incidental and necessary?] Veterinary practices may benefit financially from the charity paying for cats to receive treatment.
