THAMES VALLEY ANIMAL WELFARE
TVAW aims to rescue and rehome abandoned, illtreated and unwanted cats and kittens. Veterinary treatment is provided and all animals are neutered. The cats are cared for individually in foster homes until suitable homes are found. We also operate a lost and found register and a low cost neutering scheme. All of the work is carried out by volunteers and funded by donations.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 have undergone an independent examination rather than a full audit, as determined by the trustees under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011. The independent examiner, Martin Tucker, reported that no matters came to his attention suggesting the accounting records were not kept in accordance with the Act or that the accounts did not accord with those records. The report confirms compliance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission without noting any material uncertainties or serious incidents.
