Cinnamon Trust is the only specialist national charity that aims to help elderly and terminally ill people get the care and attention their pets need as their own needs increase. The trust can arrange for pets to be fed, groomed, and given temporary homes during respite or hospital for their owners. The trust can also arrange for dog walking, changing cat litter, and attending vet appointments with pets. If prior arrangements have been made pets that outlive their owners can come into the Trust's care. The Trust was founded in 1985 by Mrs Averil Jarvis whose determination and dedication has ensured that the manifest need is fully addressed.
