About Us The Cinnamon Trust is the only specialist national charity for elderly and terminally ill people and their pets. We recognise the importance of the treasured relationship between people and pets and we recognise that this relationship is, more often than not, seriously threatened by infirmity and frailty. We step in to ensure that any problem encountered in the day to day care of a pet can be overcome and all the benefits of owning a pet can be preserved. Our aims are achieved by tasking a national network of over 14,000 volunteers to provide any assistance required including walking dogs and pet fostering. We operate a national register of care homes/sheltered housing for the elderly that will accept pets. A principle concern for elderly and terminally ill pet owners is the long term care of beloved pets.
