About Leicester Animal Aid

Leicester Animal Aid is an animal rehoming charity founded in 1956, accommodating relinquished, unwanted and abandoned cats and dogs within a 4.5-acre purpose-built rehoming centre in Huncote, Leicestershire. The charity also runs a community outreach scheme, helping vulnerable pet owners keep their cherished animal companions in their own homes.

Our culture and values

The charity's founder, Dorothea Farndon, believed in a better life for animals without homes.
