Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity aims to break even each year and received a sizable gift from a local resident in their will. However, the Treasurer's report notes that fundraising activities were limited due to an inability to attend the partner store for promotional work, while costs such as vet fees increased. The charity continues to operate with support from donations and in-kind contributions.
