The trust aims to keep them together - for example, by walking a dog every day for a housebound owner, fostering pets when owners need hospital care, fetching the cat food, or even cleaning the budgie's cage. And when a pet is bereaved the Trust takes on their full time, life time care.
Short-Term Foster Homes Needed: Temporary, short-term foster homes are needed to care for bereaved cats whilst a Lifelong Home is being found, and also for when people need a hospital stay and require temporary foster care for their cat. Please contact us if you could help.
Lifelong Foster Homes Needed: Lifelong Foster Homes are required for cats left in the care of The Trust. Future Veterinary fees will be paid by The Cinnamon Trust. Please contact as below if you could offer a home for life to a bereaved cat.
Please Note: The Trust is not a rescue centre taking cats in for homing, but when an elderly owner dies, and their animal companion is left in their care, the Trust will do their best to find a loving, life-long foster home for them.

Pedigree Cats also find themselves in rescue centres, for the same reasons as many 'moggies' - a change in the owner's living arrangements, the family is emigrating, relationship breakdowns and divorce, a family member develops an allergy, the owner has died or gone into a care home, and many more reasons. There are many excellent breed-specific rescues across the country - if you are looking for a Pedigree Cat - click the link below for Pedigree Rescues...
