Fostering a pet - The Cinnamon Trust

Many owners who register with The Cinnamon Trust do so because they’re worried about their pet’s future.

Whether they need support during a hospital stay, while recovering, or simply the peace of mind that someone will always be there to care for their beloved pets when they no longer can, we’re here to ease their worries and provide comfort every step of the way.

Thanks to the support of our nationwide network of fosterers, The Trust is able to offer Short Term Foster homes to pets whose owners face a spell in hospital and Forever Foster homes to pets of owners who have passed away or moved into residential nursing care.

As is the case with all the community support we offer, Short Term Fosterers need to be registered as volunteers. Whereas Forever Fostering being a life long arrangement, requires a separate process to be completed that does not involve volunteer registration.

Lady O’hagen (Devon)

I was worried about my sheep; I have raised them from lambs and they are a family. They come to me for their breakfast in the morning and we have a set routine. I couldn’t believe there was a charity that understood how I felt about them and that promised to care for them in the way I have.
