Our Amazing Supporters
Cheltenham Animal Shelter is a charity that has been helping animals since 1926.
We rescue and re-home unwanted and abandoned stray cats, dogs and small animals from across Gloucestershire.
We also take in rescue dogs from Gloucestershire Constabulary as well as rehoming dogs, cats and small animals from owners who can no longer look after them for a variety of reasons.
Small animals we often have in our care include rabbits, gerbils and guinea pigs.
Over ten years ago, Henrietta; Lily’s owner, struggled to find a pet food filled with honest, natural ingredients. After Lily fell ill, suffering with sore and itchy skin, Henrietta started cooking from scratch to nurse her back to health.
A much loved member of the family, Lily deserved nothing but proper food and Henrietta wondered why all beloved pets couldn’t get their paws on the same.
Henrietta then decided to work with some brilliant vets and nutritionists to make delicious, quality recipes using wholesome ingredients and just like that, Lily’s Kitchen was born.

When mum and dad bought me home as a pup I caused the inevitable fun and havoc! Over the next couple of years M&D bought me tons of dog stuff, and the found that they were sometimes disappointed with their purchase or experience.
So, they thought….hang on…..why don’t we open a shop for dogs and stock on the very best of everything! So, they did!
