This thoughtful process gathers essential details about your pet’s unique needs, preferences, routines, and diet, so we are fully prepared to step in when you can no longer be there.

We ensure that pets are cared for with the utmost dedication, either by carefully choosing a new forever home or, if more appropriate, by welcoming them into one of our home-from-home sanctuaries.

Thanks to the ongoing generosity of our community, our Pet Profiling service is available for all and provided at no cost to the owners.

This allows us to ensure that everyone—regardless of age, health, or financial circumstances—can make secure, compassionate plans for their pet’s future care.

We do things a little differently

Forever care — reimagined

  • Home-from-Home

    We never place pets in kennels or catteries. Instead, we ensure they experience a home-like environment, either with a caring forever fosterer or at one of our two  sanctuaries.

  • Lifetime Vet Care

    We pay all veterinary expenses for the rest of your pet’s life, leaving the new foster family to focus only on providing love and comfort.

  • Forever Friends

    We stay connected and offer support for our pets and their families forever more.

  • 24/7 Support

    Our emergency line is always open, ready to help you and the fosterers at anytime.

  • All Pets Welcome

    We believe every companion deserves love and care, whether young, strong or with complex medical needs. You can make provisions for any pet or species. You love them, so will we!

  • Keeping Families Together

    We always keep pet families together.

Joan and Kye’s Story

I profiled Kye because he has Fibrotic Myopathy. He is otherwise fit and well but I was worried that if anything happened to me and he went to a rescue shelter, they would put him to sleep.

The fact that The Cinnamon Trust pay all the vets bills is fantastic and means that he would always get the best treatment available

Start your pet profiling application

The application takes about 45 minutes, covering details about your vet, emergency keyholders, next of kin contacts, and your pet.

**Please note, we only accept a pet profile completed by the pet(s) owner directly.

Faqs

Owner Support

  • Can I make provisions for my pet(s) with The Cinnamon Trust in the event of my passing?

    Yes, we offer our Pet Profile service for persons concerned about their pet’s future in the event of their death or move to nursing care.

  • Does The Cinnamon Trust rehome pets?

    The Cinnamon Trust is not a re-homing charity. The only time we offer a new home to a pet is if an owner has made arrangements with us prior to their passing or move into permanent nursing care for their pet(s) to come into our care, should they become unable to look after them (Pet Profiling). We have no rehoming centre, kennels, cattery, or boarding facility and instead move pets into a temporary or Forever Foster homes.

  • Does The Cinnamon Trust pay the vet bills for Forever Foster pets?

    Yes, we cover all vet bills for Forever Foster pets for life, except for annual inoculations.

  • What types of animals do you offer support with?

    We will do our best to support any animal that you class as your companion pet. With the help of our network of animal loving volunteers, whatever challenge is effecting an owner’s ability to look after their pet, we will aim to overcome it. We have supported hamsters, budgies, horses, alpacas and many more. Not just dogs and cats!

The Circle of Giving

The Circle of Giving embodies our philosophy: we do not charge for our help, relying instead on the generosity of others.

This involves the kindness, time, commitment, and financial support of volunteers and supporters who keep our mission alive. Our work, though at no cost for those we help, is made possible by the heartfelt gifts of many.
